---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Henrik Nordstrom <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 11:03 AM Subject: Re: HTTP Extensions for Simultaneous Download from Multiple Mirrors To: HTTP Working Group <[email protected]> This draft made a bit of surprise appearance in the transport area meeting today: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ford-http-multi-server My initial reaction is lots of obvious overlap with other work and misunderstandings of basic HTTP functions like ETag. Basic motivation behind the work may be reasonable however. I will try to catch the author for a more in-depth discussion shortly. Other opinions? Regards Henrik -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
