Please, I've been trying to determine the recommended way of returning the entity author/contact in the HTTP response. The HTTP 1.0 draft provides one method using the LINK entity header and its rev "attribute" [1]. The HTML 2.0 draft documents an example using the <META> tag which uses 'Reply-to' as the value of the http-equiv attribute [2]. However, I can't find this header documented in HTTP/1.0. (The same incidentally also goes for 'Keyword' which is used in the same example). A thread from the start of April in the hypermail archive of the HTTP-WG mailing list also mentions using 'From' [3]. Which should I use, or is there another alternative? Thanks for your help, Steve. P.S. The HTML draft clearly states that the server MAY read the document <HEAD> to generate header fields. Do any servers currently do this? (I'm reasonably certain the CERN httpd does not - although the meta data file can be used to the same end).
