See commit for background.

/cc @mnot sanity check? :)

yoavweiss commented 9 years ago

Can we split the PR into two? I'm all for the RQ change (with nits), but not really sure what the Alternate-Content-Length change is all about :)

mnot commented 9 years ago

+1 to @yoavweiss - Alternate-Content-Length looks... dubious.

mdwelsh commented 9 years ago

We need some mechanism for a site or proxy to convey the content length of the "original" (unmodified) response body for the sake of allowing user agents to track and report on compression. Chrome uses X-Original-Content-Length for this; Opera has a similar header. Alternate-Content-Length or Original-Content-Length are intended to provide this information.

Moved Alternate-Content-Length into a separate pull: https://github.com/igrigorik/http-client-hints/pull/42

yoavweiss commented 9 years ago

Can you update the gh-pages branch? It's lagging behind, at least on this merged PR

igrigorik commented 9 years ago

@yoavweiss yep, done: http://igrigorik.github.io/http-client-hints/#the-rq-client-hint
