First here are some thoughts about short-circuits in the request-profile. I
think handling this one is not so complicated and can be added to the
existing draft:
Before the callout server sends back any application message part,
it MUST decide whether it wants to adapt the request or to
short-curcuit. It will either send back request-header,
request-body, request-trailer parts or response-header,
response-body, response-trailer parts. Some parts could be
optional due to conditions defined below but it MUST NOT mix parts
of these two lists; on violation client MUST terminate
transaction.
I agree with the above in principle. If we make any changes to the
what-parts-to-send-or-skip mechanism, the above may need to reflect
those changes, of course. As of now, the above together with adding
adapted response-* parts to request profile should suffice.
