Comment on draft-ediint-certificate-exchange-00.txt.
Please clarify the behavior in the case of a negative MDN.
After this paragraph of section 2.3
Upon receipt of the CEM Request, the recipient trading partner
processes the transport message as normal and returns the MDN. The
recipient MUST return the MDN before parsing and interpreting the CEM
XML data. The returned MDN only provides information on the veracity
of the transport message and not the acceptance of the certificate
being exchanged.
add this
If the recipient rejects the Request message at the transport level,
the recipient MUST return a negative MDN if an MDN is requested, and the
recipient MUST NOT return a CEM Response. The recipient has rejected the
Request at the transport level, and does not process the Request further. The
initiator's behavior when receiving a negative MDN is not defined. The
initiator MAY retransmit the Request, after taking some action to correct the
transport problem, or it may take some other action.
At the end of section 2.3, add
If the initiator rejects the Response message at the transport level,
the initiator MUST return a negative MDN if an MDN is requested. The initiator
has rejected the Response at the transport level, and does not process the
Response further. The recipient's behavior when receiving a negative MDN is
not defined. The recipient MAY retransmit the Response, after taking some
action to correct the transport problem.
