Hi all, I'm very new to both this list and the IETF, but I wanted to ask a question that might have been discussed in the past, possibly even face to face during IETF meetings... The members of this list are currently discussing what type of standards document the WG might end up writing. But has there been any thought given to the development of a set of whitebox user-agent tests that could be deployed on a domain and used to *document* currently deployed user-agent behavior? (IE produce a table of observed behavior vrs user-agent and test case.) I would see this as a very useful deliverable for the working group to produce prior to any specification document, and I can see myself adding test cases to such a test suite (provided it is written in a language I am familliar with). I am currently in the process of trying to implement cookie support in a simple user-agent as part of Google's Summer of Code and such a suite would be very useful to me... Many members of this list probably have extensive knowledge of user-agent behavior, both where they converge and where they diverge. Deploying such a test suite would allow the gathering of all such knowledge in a single, public place. Unless such a thing already exists, in which case I shall be very happy to be provided with a pointer... Just some thoughts, -- Pascal Gaudette <acajou@gmail.com>
