All,

By the authority vested in me by myself, I hereby decree that MetaData
shall be in HTTP header format, as defined in RFC 1945.  This is mainly
because I cannot see any reason not to follow this established standard.

So, the key of the key/value pair is before a ':' and the value is after,
e.g.

  Content-Type: text/plain

These are the field names I have defined so far - taken directly from RFC
1945:

  Content-Type      -  the MIME type of the file contents
  Content-Encoding  -  the character encoding

------------------------
I propose to start a document containing the above information, and put it
in the website area of CVS.  People will be able to add any field names
they feel are necessary or useful to this document.  At some indeterminate
time in the future we will review the document and make it official.

Field names should follow RFC-1945 and friends unless it's for a concept
that doesn't exist in the RFCs.  It should be possible in proxies like
FCRC to take the MetaData and add it to the HTTP header.

So that's the plan -- unless you guys think this is a crap idea, of
course.


Steve
