Merkle Integrity Content Encoding (draft-thomson-http-mice) is a nice idea. Specifying the record size in a separate "MI" HTTP header feels like a poor design: Content-Encoding indicates the encoding, but its critical parameter is in a separate header. How about just putting the record size at the start of the content, eg a 4-byte prefix holding the record size in bytes as a big-endian unsigned int? The 2nd example from the spec would become: Content-Encoding: mi-sha256 Content-Length: 109 <00 00 00 10>When I grow up, <OElbplJlPK-Rv6JNK6p5_515IaoPoZo-2elWL7OQ60A>I want to be a w<iPMpmgExHPrbEX3_RvwP4d16fWlK4l--p75PUu_KyN0>atermelon -- James Manger
