In summary:
   * !estimatedWaitTime is returned by both !dChace and CASTOR servers but is not returned by GFAL client. %ORANGE% Opened [[https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/index.php?47489][Savannah bug 47489]]. Remi said it will be implemented soon, in the next release (not the one which is already in certification, the next one)%ENDCOLOR%
   * !remainingPinTime is returned by CASTOR (not by !dCache, this is a known issue: bug # 4154 in !dCache RT ) and is correctly returned by GFAL.%ORANGE%bug already opened (fixed when?)%ENDCOLOR%
   * !fileSize is returned by CASTOR and not by !dCache (when the request is queued). And GFAL doesn't return it. In the following polling, once the request is done, then also !dCache returns the file size. %GREEN%doesn't seem to be important%ENDCOLOR%
   * !DesiredTotalRequestTime is not even passed by GFAL to the SRM server (it is implemented for !prepareToGet in the current version of GFAL, but not for !BringOnline. In the version in certification it is implemented also for !BringOnline).%GREEN%Finally, after the 26 Feb meeting, it was decided that this parameter is optional%ENDCOLOR%
   * !TotalRemainingRequestTime: not set in !dCache. This parameter is reported in the following !srmBringOnlineResponse (the prestage_status calls), not in the first one (why?) but its value is not set. In CASTOR, this parameter is not even present in the trace file.%GREEN% in the last meeting, Feb 26th, it has been decided that it's not important%ENDCOLOR%
