new memento raw proposal

[Lyudmila Balakireva]

Hi all,

We have published a blog post in which we:

- motivate the requirement to be able to request untransformed Mementos,

- describe an approach to request untransformed Mementos by using the Prefer HTTP request header, defined in RFC7240.

The blog post is at http://ws-dl.blogspot.com/2016/08/2016-08-15-mementos-in-raw-take-two.html . David Rosenthal wrote a perspective on it at http://blog.dshr.org/2016/08/content-negotiation-and-memento.html .

We are very interested in feedback, both conceptually and from the perspective of implementing this feature for Open Wayback. Comments can be left on this list and as a reaction to our blog post.

Greetings

Luda
