Summary: This draft is ready for publication as a Proposed Standard. I 


do have a nit you may want to look at, but feel free to ignore.




Nit:



As it is just a republication of the experimental RFC7238, I went over 


and ran the tests at






http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc/httpredirects/#l-308





with both Firefox and Chrome on Linux. When I ran the t308methods test 


which stated "method should be preserved in all cases", I got an error 


for the TRACE method. This is probably due to the fact that the test 


server has disabled TRACE. I think it would be nice to remove TRACE from 


the test suite so that an ugly error would not show up :-). Or 


alternatively, if support for TRACE redirects is required, enable it on 


the server so that it can be tested




Thanks
Suresh
