Note: This proposal is still experimental, and clients cannot rely on it yet. See the Test Suite report for the latest information on which servers currently support it.
The current WAC spec defines two agent classes:
foaf:Agent(allows access to any agent, i.e., the public)acl:AuthenticatedAgent(allows access to any authenticated agent)
This proposal adds a third one:
acl:PayingAgent(allows access to any paying agent)
For more information about how to use this agent class in combination with
the 402 Payment Required http response code and the Pay http response header,
and about how to determine whether a given WebID
is a paying agent for a given resource, see
