Revision 10 includes Alan Ford's merge of draft-ford-http-multi-server and Henrik's additions. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bryan-metalinkhttp Downloader & tools are at http://groups.google.com/group/metalink-discussion/web/metalinkhttp Fishing for ideas/suggestions: o Should we use Metalink/XML for partial file checksums? That would add XML dependency to apps for an important feature. Any other options? o Use of Link header to describe Mirrors. Only send a few mirrors with Link header? Some organizations have many mirrors. o Would it make more sense to use qvalue-style policies to describe mirror priority, i.e. q=1.0 through q=0.0 ?
