Having run one of the clients in this test I'd like to second this request. Ideally, if the folks who provide servers could even give a rough idea beforehand of what's on their server, that would help me (and I presume other clients) in preparing some tests. For example it would be useful to know what request methods can be tested and on which URLs (this includes the URLs for various forms). Also, since I've noticed that a number of problems turn up in conjuction with dynamic content (cgi scripts, SSI, etc). I would therefore like to see more of this. Specifically, cgi's which produce a Content-length header, cgi's which don't, cgi's which return 3xx responses, cgi's with varying cache-control headers, etc would be useful. I know this means extra work for all those putting up servers, but those of us with clients have some work trying to put together, run and debug tests against the servers (I'm not complaining, just pointing out). Cheers, Ronald
