MIME Type for UTCtiming scheme responses #34

Closed tlohmar closed 6 years ago

tlohmar commented 7 years ago

or the following three UTCtiming schemes provide a timestamp in an HTTP body :

o   urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-xsdate:2014
o   urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-iso:2014
o   urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-ntp:2014

The MPEG spec says “The timing information is contained in the message body of the HTTP response to the above HTTP GET request and contains time value formatted according…”. The three schemes are supported by DASH-IF IOP but are not further described. In particular the Mime type for the HTTP responses is not mentioned.

Suggestion: Use text/plain to provide the time value. The value string is either formated according to xml xsdate, or an ISO time string or an NTP number.
