What will be the output? What will be the behavior of the HTTP

The behaviour of HTTP requests has nothing to do with the changes
proposed here as no change proposed here affects HTTP requests to my
knowledge.
Now, "pkg set-property send-uuid true" (or false) changes the
behavior of all HTTP requests. After your change, will it? I assume
not. So this definitely is a change in the behavior of HTTP requests?
Why would you assume that? Where did I mention anything about
send-uuid? The HTTP behaviour of send-uuid is specific to the
transport system and is not something that any of these changes will
be able to affect at all. I will state again, to my knowledge, there
will be change to the existing behaviour of HTTP requests. What the
transport layer chooses to do or not do with HTTP requests is not
within the scope of this proposal.
The most indirect effect that I could possibly extrapolate is that if
send-uuid is made publisher-specific (which this proposal has not yet
suggested) that may affect what the transport subsystem decides to do
with HTTP requests.
In short, I feel it is out of scope to describe what a particular
subsystem may or may not do as a result of policy values, especially
when I am not altering that subsystem.
I was assuming "send-uuid" would be one of the policies that would be on
the list of properties that become policies. Is that not the case?
Maybe it would help I saw the list first.
How about "flush-content-cache-on-success"? Will that be on the list of
polices?
Currently, internally there is an image.get_policy method that uses the
values of properties. I'm curious what happens to that method with this
design. (But that may just be an internal design detail).
