Yes, now I remember that discussion. But isn't the current wording misleading? I think the server only returns an IRD with a 300 status if the client sends a GET request rather than a POST request.

Can anyone explain it? This means that the ALTO Server may respond with an Multiple Choices (300) status code with the body containing an IRD. If I recall correctly, the explicit statement about the HTTP 300 status code was removed after a discussion about there being too strong of a coupling between ALTO and the HTTP layers. I know the WG has gone back and forth over appropriate wording for this particular issue in the past.
