well, I now have access to the primary URI (the mappings document),

auth dialog.
Please try again.
A fix has been applied to the test instance re. access to the ACL.

BTW - according to the details outlined in the paper[1] (pg. 6 table
1) once I get "Write" access to the ACL resource, I can delete that
ACL document, correct?

I started this thread to as a way to get us thinking about this
fundamental shortcoming of the WAC pattern as described in the initial
paper [1] and the Wiki [2].
The pattern where agents can deref the resource in order to discover
the ACL of that resource is viable for cases where the agent already
has access to the resource. However, cases where the agent needs to
gain access to the resource itself needs another pattern; one which
I've not seen proposed/documented anywhere.

Hopefully, the irony is not lost here.
Kingsley's message listed a URI of a resource; the LInk header of
which pointed to the URI of the ACL resource.
IOW, I was given rights to the ACL resource, but not the resource
controlled by that ACL resource.
Thus, "Discovering the ACL resource via the Link Header" *was not
possible*.
So I must ask, Nathan, how did you know the URI of the ACL resource?
What have I missed?
nothing, the demo should have let you have access to both the resource and
the ACL, why you didn't I'm not sure - defer to Kinglsey on that one ;)
Best,
Nathan
