When there is no disposition-notification-to header in the client request, I am not returning an MDN.
What should I return instead? There's one web server I'm testing that will generate an HTTP error if I don't provide some content-type.
RFC 2298 was meant for email and does not discuss HTTP.
Will I be ok with the following? :
##########################################################################
# The posting client has not requested an MDN. None will be sent.
#
# EDIINT-AS2 DRAFT 1-2003 7.6 excerpt:
# The HTTP server-side application may respond with an unsolicited
# multipart/report as a message body that the HTTP client might not have
# solicited, but this may be discarded by the client. Applications should
# avoid emitting unsolicited receipt replies because bandwidth or
# processing limitations might have led administrators to suspend asking
# for acknowledgements.
#
print "content-type: text/plain\n";
print "connection: close\n";
print "\nposted without MDN request (disposition-notification-to)";
Thanks,
Dave
