6.  New Issues.  Issues list [.1].
  - HTTP chunk-encoding (Youenn) [.2]

Youenn:  Problems with chunked encoding, HTTP 1.0, and fault 
         Codes.
Asir:    Is this description issue or binding issue?
Youenn:  It's optional, so client may try chunked and then 
         fail. Options:
         1) Could up-level receivers to all support it; 
         2) Could describe chunking capabilities in wsdl; 
         3) perf hits
Marsh:   Maybe Property in binding?
Jacek:   Multipart can't be chunked?
Sanjiva: Seems like transfer-encoding as well
Sanjiva/Arthur: too low level
Sanjiva: Should put http version in wsdl binding
Others:  Chunked encoding can be a WSDL extension done by 
         WS-I.  Would have to be in their ns, etc.
Prasad:  Wants space separated list of properties of HTTP
General: Is this fixing particular implementation problems 
         with HTTP or is it skipping the HTTP negotiation 
         protocols?

ACTION:  Youenn to create a specific proposal for describing 
         the HTTP version.
Marsh will add an issue on describing HTTP optional features.

  - HTTPS support (Youenn) (related to issue 56?) [.3]

Deferred till xx:00

[.3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Mar/0304.html

------------------------------------------------------------------
7.  SOAP 1.2 Binding
  - Review Jean-Jacques' schema [.1] outlining an overall approach to
    the binding.

[.1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Mar/0295.html

Marsh:   Define what MEPs are compatible with what SOAP meps 
[Scribe loses track of discussion finding email.  finds it at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Mar/0295.html]
JJ:      mep attribute specifies which soap mep is used, as 
         there may be a 1 to many correlation between application 
         mEP and soap mep.
Sanjiva: Webmethod attribute are clearly http specific, they 
         should re-use the http binding attribute instead of 
         creating one in wssoap.
Umit:    media types are iana tokens not URIs
Sanjiva: the web methods aren't protocol independent.
Marsh:   How to move forward?
JJ:      Look at each of the items in the proposal in depth 
         Editors will massage and adopt as status quo
ACTION:  Editors to update SOAP 1.2 Strawman proposal to take 
         Part 1 changes into account.
Marsh:   Intention is to take the updated proposal as our 
         status quo and raise issues against it.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Return to HTTPS issue:

Youenn:  HTTPS can be used to do basic authentication, and 
         HTTP 1.1 can do authentication.  Add a few words 
         saying can use HTTPS within soap/http and http binding.  
         Should specify whether the client must authenticate 
         or not.
All:     continuing discussion about whether to describe http 
         optional features
ACTION:  Youenn to provide editors specific text about https: 
         Uris.
Marsh will add the description of authentication requirements as an issue.

------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Issue 64 [.1] Operations as HTTP verbs (Mark Baker) [.2, .3, .4]
  - Jacek's synthesis [.5].
  - Awaiting description from Philippe showing how properties or
    extensions can be used to annotate the WSDL with RESTful 
    properties.  Ask Mark for a definitive list of those properties 
    so we can consider how to associate them with property URIs or 
    namespaces.
  - Does the current draft [.6] with "method" attribute address this
    issue?

html#_http

Marsh:   issue is can one get away without operation names when 
         using HTTP.
Sanjiva: drop issue
DaveO:   is he just proposing that the HTTP operations be described 
         as wsdl operations?
ACTION:  Marsh to contact Mark Baker and see if @method satisfies
         him.
Marsh would like to dispose of this issue next week.

Ajourned.

------------------------------------------------------------------
9.  Issue 54: Allow binding to any HTTP method [.1]
  - Is this a subset of issue 64?

[.1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/2/06/issues.html#x54

------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Issue 55 [.1] Define binding to HTTP headers
  - Do we want such capability?

[.1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/2/06/issues.html#x55
