Re: Packaging on the Web

It seems to me that all in-depth discussions on packaging eventually
end up at the point where it's realized that a general solution
requires more transparency between the transfer protocol and packaging
format than we have between HTTP and MIME multipart, ZIP, etc.. For
example, you can't expect intermediaries to cache the individual parts
of a package in a 200 response, as awesome as that would be. And
unfortunately it's too late to add that in without a major rev of the
protocol.

Speaking of which ... I haven't looked at HTTP2 from this POV, but
perhaps those that care about this might?
