Open Issues

• Are there any HTTP-specific security
  considerations we need to address explicitly?
• HTTP-Expert input/review would be helpful.
• How to avoid blocking in case of concurrent
  request/response when
• HTTP client is sending a (huge) request, while
  the HTTP server is already responding to it, and
• Callout server needs the HTTP request body to
  adapt the HTTP response?
• Should we define a mechanism that allows the
  callout server to skip a huge request body when
  in response mode?
• How do we handle HTTP specifics such as 100
  Continue and 206 Partial Content?
• Check current document and mailing list for
  details and post to the mailing list!
• Goal is to resolve remaining issues by end of
  November.
