News:

* Reorganisation of the agenda to add TAPE REST API slot

  * Related to this the next GDB is on TAPE evolution https://indico.cern.ch/event/876801/ sites with tape systems are encouraged to attend

* Agreed a new slot, every other week we start at 4 pm

SRM+HTTP

* Code is installed on FTS-devel-next it needs to be installed on FTS-devel before we can setup a testbed. Mihai saidhe cando it in a couple of weeks. The next step is to patch the DOMA rucio instance which is a bit old (Martinor Thomas will do  that) and add 3 T1 one per storage implementation (Petr can do that). We are still using dteam so we will ask the sites to enable it on storage end points.

There was a question about using smoke tests for this but we agreed they are not the right level of testing because they don't use neither FTS nor GFAL.

Experiments 

ATLAS

* CRLs are not respected by HTTP-TPC, some discussion on whether we should implement them at all. We agree that ATM CRLs are part of our infrastructure and we should implement them where missing.

* Discussion on the UNIBE case with the swiss CA updated the intermediate CA and there is a problem with the validity of the site certificate. UNIBE transfers fail mostly from large dcache sites. Paul will look at the DESY failures, but the general suggestion is that the site might want to ask for new certificates.

* Disccussion about INFN-T1 transfer rates

CMS

has enabled all T1 bar RAL they will open a ticket for them. they also are alligning their timeline with ATLAS in order to move the disks endpoints to use HTTP. Alessandra will send the list of minimum versions of storage ATLAS requires.

LHCb

LHCb has also stated to open tickets for sites to enable HTTP-TPC they are also asking for xrootd as a back up but is less important.

Protocols news

Wei reports there were two bugs in xrootd http and they were fixed.
