Re: [wsrp-interfaces] Clarification on mimeAttributes vs clientAttributes

[Rich Thompson <richt2@us.ibm.com>]

The 2nd was added as there were non-upload
use cases presented for v2 which needed header level information transferred.
The upload case was covered by v1, but in the end that coverage was too
narrow.

Does anyone have a reason for having both of these? If
so is there a difference?

1.        http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrp/v2/wsrp-2.0-spec-os-01.html#_UploadContext

• mimeAttributes: Attributes received from the client (e.g. http headers, other attributes relative to the upload file, etc.) that are not represented elsewhere within the protocol.

2.
       http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrp/v2/wsrp-2.0-spec-os-01.html#_ClientData
1.        clientAttributes:
Attributes received from the client (e.g. HTTP headers) which are not represented
elsewhere within the WSRP protocol and which the Consumer is choosing to
supply to the Portlet. When this structure is being supplied to the getResource
operation, Consumers SHOULD supply the same set of items which would have
been supplied using the HTTP proxy method of serving the resource.
Thanks,
