Re: [Sidrops] Interim Meeting Follow-up Mail

[Stephen Kent <[e-mail]>]

Tim,

I looked at the revised bullet points we agreed upon and crafted a new 
Section 6.4 to reflect the last point. (The first three were already 
covered in this or other sub-sections of Section 6.) The proposed, 
revised text is below. If you concur, I'll ask that 6486-bis be revised 
accordingly.


6.4.Acquiring Files Referenced by a Manifest

The RP MUST acquire all of the files enumerated in the manifest
(fileList) from the publication point.If there are files listed in the
manifest that cannot be retrieved from the publication point, or if
they fail the validity tests specified in [RFC6488], the fetch has
failed and the RP MUST proceed to Section 6.7; otherwise, proceed to
Section 6.5. Note that the set of retrieved objects may include types that

    the PR is not prepared to process, e.g., objects other than CRLs, 
certificates,

    and Ghostbuster records (all of which MUST be processed by an RP, if 
present).

    When such objects are encountered by an RP, the RP MUST NOT attempt 
to validate

    the eContent (as described in Section 2.1.3.2 above) of such objects;

    encountering such objects does not, per se, result in a failed fetch.
