Hallo, ich habe mal aufgeschrieben, was ich an Internet-Spezifikationen vermisse.
Da hier einige auf der Liste sind, die das Internet bald zwanzig Jahre kennen, dachte ich mir, dass ich hier auf der lug-dd vielleicht etwas Feedback bekomme :-) Hier das Original: https://github.com/guettli/missing-internet-specs/blob/master/README.md Hier der aktuelle Stand: # missing-internet-specs Missing Internet Specifications Here is a list of ideas. Each idea is about a internet standard that I am missing. I love feedback: Please create a github issue if you see typos or if something is not clear. Don't be shy. Tell me what you think. ## Avatar: mail address to image Use case: Mail user agents like thunderbird or outlook should be able to display the image of a emai sender. If you get a mail from [email protected] there should be a way to receive the image and maybe more information. I asked this at stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34043435/rfc-for-retrieving-avatar-image-from-email-address One of several possible solutions: I think DNS could be used. DNS should provide an URL to an image. ## Mail Header for online shopping Use case: If you buy stuff via internet you get several mails. Some users (like me) want to move these mails to sub-folders. The most common types are these: * "We received your order" * "This is your invoice" * "We are shipping your goods" It would be very nice if there would be a standard for tagging the mails. Then users can create mail filters to move mails to sub-folders. Spec: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email#Message_header ## HTTP PUT without data transfer, since hash of data is known to server See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32794863/http-spec-put-without-data-transfer-since-hash-of-data-is-known-to-server ## Make notes on Mails (IMAP) Use case: I see a mail from a friend in my inbox. But some information is missing. I call him on the phone. He tells me more details. The next step is that I need to do something. But not today, in about one week. I want to add a note to the mail. I use thunderbird on PC and K9 on android. Notes should be visible on both devices. One of several solutions: Extend IMAP Spec Related: http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/27065/create-and-store-notes-on-mails -- http://www.thomas-guettler.de/ _______________________________________________ Lug-dd maillist - [email protected] https://ssl.schlittermann.de/mailman/listinfo/lug-dd
