Hi Patrick,
What are the advantages of MGET over the RULE technique (e.g. add
'.meta' onto the end of the URI) for getting metadata about the
resource. I don't think I've heard any arguments to persuade me that
this isn't a workable solution. (other than it's a bit ugly).
Advantages of RULE over MGET:
- no change required to web infrastructure (proxies, caches, webservers)
- no change required to http client libraries (even the broken ones!)
- simple to deploy
- e.g. can be done by putting text files in an existing
public_html dir
These seem pretty big advantages to me.
Many thanks,
Phil
