Features app developers really really need

@raucao expressed his disappointment that none of the new features discussed in Unhošť made it into the current draft version of the -02 spec. so let’s reprioritize, then.

if i understand correctly, multiple app developers really really need the following feature:

  • “file sizes”: to have, in the the directory listing format, not only the ETag for each item (as it is now), but also the Content-Type as well as the Content-Length, and to also make this information available via HEAD requests.

other features which were discussed but are iiuc less pressing:

  • byte ranges
  • access control lists
  • allowing the bearer token to be in the query parameter instead of in the Authorization header

please vote on this thread if you think you cannot properly build your apps the way you want without some of these features.
