In all the discussion of trailers and which "headers" (hmm, I guess we need a new term) are acceptable in the trailer, I haven't seen anything about conflicts between and normalization of header headers and trailer headers. The HTTP 1.1 spec is silent, leading me to believe that a there is no material difference between a header appearing twice in the header section and a header appearing in both the header and trailer sections. Put differently, any comma-separated list of elements in a header can be split into several headers, with some preceeding the encoded entity body and some following it. Is this what others understand as well? It seems a little odd to me, but it is consistent with the rest of the spec. Ross Patterson Sterling Software, Inc. VM Software Division
