RFC 2068 did not use the normative MUST in the description of the header, leading some implementors to decide that it was optional. From the perspective of the server it is not usefull unless the client is guaranteed to use it (if you have to also put the base into the entity then there is no point in putting it into the headers). > If the HTTP group has decided to remove Content-Base, are the > same reasons valid for removing Content-Base from MHTML? The discussion on the http list began with: http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/hypermail/1998q1/0024.html
