Hi,

This is the agenda for tomorrow's call. Let's try to start on time.

- Rewritten links (HTTP and/or HTTPS) are likely to be of the form:
  http[s]://ct-proxy.example.com?uri=[original URI]
- This means that a script running on such a page can basically target 
whatever URI it wants using XHR calls (the "same origin policy" 
condition would be fulfilled by the triple scheme/host/port 
"http"/"ct-proxy.example.com"/80), and that's a typical case of 
cross-site scripting.
- Not specific to HTTPS but with a special resonance in the case of 
HTTPS since it means the user's credentials and/or credit card number 
could be stolen!

- For HTTP links, there is probably a (hacky) way to circumvent the 
problem, e.g. by building a "fake" request for a subsequent page in a 
paginated response that targets the origin server and that is 
intercepted by the proxy in the end and never reaches the origin server.
- For HTTPS links, this solution is by definition impossible.

- Stick to "existing practice" or define the header appropriately?
- I note we also reference the X-Forwarded-For header.

3. Mandating respect of some heuristics
-----
Thread:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Nov/0080.html

- should a mobile CT proxy be allowed to transform content that was 
developed with mobile in mind?
- forbid restructuring and recoding in the cases mentioned by Dom?
- allow exceptions to the rules as proposed by Eduardo?
- add an equivalent to section 4.1.5.4 on responses?


4. WML and the guidelines

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Nov/0071.html

- Mostly merged with previous topic
- Amend the text on http-equiv not to mention specifically *HTML* content?


5. Next calls
-----
- I'm out of office next 2 weeks.
- Hold/Cancel both calls?
