TAP questions

[Dobos, László]

Yep, that's correct, sorry for the false bug report. I'm pretty sure I saw this behavior with one of the services I tested but it seems to be gone (probably after switching to https by default). CADC appears red on my tests because it returns a 303 when I send a sync query which is in the standard so I'll update my library.

On the issue of switching protocols between http and https, I am pretty sure that CADC services don't do that and I completely agree that it is wrong at a web service layer level to do that. We do run under both protocols (although https always requires client certificate to authenticate) but we have a lot of tests to verify that all protocols and authentication methods work correctly. However, there are always people mucking with web server config and sticking up load balancers and firewalls so it is possible that some sequence or endpoint could be misbehaving. If you can send me an example I will fix it.
