http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11895 --- Comment #2 from Andrew Roth <andrew.in.snow+w3c@gmail.com> 2011-01-27 20:45:13 UTC --- I had not heard of this before (sorry for not researching better). I found the spec: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.15 And the support in Apache: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#contentdigest Do you know of any website that implements this? Or if the major user agents (Firefox/IE/Chrome) support it? This places a burden on the server because it has to compute the checksum upon every request. It would be much better to compute it once, and serve it many times. To my knowledge, I don't know of any websites that implement this for large file downloads. Implementing this change would make it easier for developers and publishers to ensure files are downloaded correctly. I will try to check and research more on its implementation. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
