Picking HTTP/1.1 features for WebCompare 4.2 (fwd)

[sameer <sa...@c2.org>]

	Got this from Paul Hoffman of webcompare. I think he has
another Apache person on his list of contacts so you've probably
received it as well. Please tell me what you think he should put in
and I'll forward it on.

> Greetings again. As (hopefully most of) you know, HTTP/1.1 is getting ready
> to be finalized. The draft that was released to the IETF working group on
> Tuesday is available in the usual places, and at
> <http://www.webcompare.com/draft-ietf-http-v11-spec>.
> 
> I intend to add many of the 1.1 features to the next version of WebCompare,
> which due to the extreme lateness of the draft (it was promised for April
> 1...), will now come out on May 15. I'd like to know which 1.1 features you
> as developers would like to see in the WebCompare list. The one's I'm
> already definitely putting in are:
> - Persistent Connections (draft section 14)
> - Proper handling of the full URI in requests
> - PUT (draft section 8.5)
> - Ranges (draft section 3.17)
> 
> What else would you like to see listed in the next WebCompare? Don't fret
> if all the features you want don't make it in immediately, since I'll be
> adding features each month (and I have a number of non-HTTP/1.1 features to
> add as well).
> 
> Please reply by Monday, and I'll finalize the list of questions and
> descriptions and send it out again. Once I send it out, I'll need responses
> back by May 13 for release on May 15. These will apply to servers available
> to your customers by May 15. I will probably rev the list again on June 1,
> with more HTTP/1.1 features (such as digest authentication) added.
> 
> Your comments are always appreciated.
