Hi Ethan, (long time no see!) Sorry, Apache was just a mistake. I remember my coleague was complaining about behaviour of some well-known software, but that can't be apache, because, you are right, it isn't a dispatcher. On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 3:36 AM, Ethan Davis <edavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi Eizi,* MIME type parameter sounds clean, but it's hard to implement MIME dispatcher using parameter. Most dispatcher (such as apache, MS Windows shell) just ignores MIME type parameter. So, different types (not parameter) need to be created if different handler applications are to be invoked.Can you explain what you mean by dispatcher? I think you mean a client getting some payload with a mime type, the client (or the dispatcher part of the client) then uses the mime type to determine which application should be handed the payload.
That's right.
But you mention Apache so I wanted to double check that this didn't have to do with gateway or proxy HTTP servers dropping parameters. (Which doesn't seem too likely but ...)
So far I don't have such specific example. Maybe some proxy is ill-implemented for content-negotiation, but it doesn't matter WCS because it doesn't use HTTP Accept: header for format negotiation.
