[ this isn't WG business, but may be interesting to WG members ] One of the things I've been doing in my copious (hah) spare time recently is working on a tool to examine HTTP resources and issues found as well as other interesting characteristics. This is a replacement for the Cacheability Engine (for those who remember it), and is explicitly not caching-specific. In fact, I've rewritten the stack down to sockets to get as much visibility into what's happening on the wire as possible*. There's a public instance at: http://redbot.org/ and code, issues, mailing list and the like are at: http://redbot.org/project For example: http://redbot.org/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ietf.org%2F (make sure you roll over the various messages) There's still a lot of work to be done; I've really only roughed in the framework and the most basic tests. My hope is to expand the test corpus quite a bit, and would love any suggestions, corrections, contributions and collaboration**. Cheers and back to your regular programming, * A nice side effect of this is that I've been using Roy's changes in p1 to implement the message parsing algorithm, and I can confirm that it's a *lot* better than 2616! ** Something which Github makes quite easy; with an account you can fork the code, raise issues, suggest forks to fold back in, and comment on individual lines of code. -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
