RE: [wss] SwA Profile change

[Christopher B Ferris <chrisfer@us.ibm.com>]

Frederick,

regardless of practice, there is no practical difference between 
resolution of different schemes, or for relative URIs
both of which are permitted.

This constraint is purely arbitrary. I don't have time to explain this now 
but I think if you read RFC2557 and SwA
there is an explanatoion.

RE: [wss] SwA Profile change






Chris 

The primary reason is that URL resolution for attachments referenced by
Content-Location could lead to interop issues, and issues related to
possible URL redirection.

The second reason is that WSS has only interop'd CIDs and it seems to be
what people are using in practice - so it seems appropriate to go with
the most simplicity possible. 

Do you see an issue with constraining the WS-Security references to
CIDs?

I would like to see the TC resolve this issue at today's WSS meeting.

Frederick,

What reason is there to constrain the URI scheme for referencing
attachments when neither SwA nor the AP1.0 place any such constraints?

Unless I hear an objection, the next draft of WSS SwA profile will limit
attachment references to CID scheme URLs.
