HTTP/1.0 with TE: chunked cannot safely cause a chunked response. That combination is much more likely to be a HTTP/1.0 proxy that propogated a TE header it didn't know was hop-to-hop. There is a real chance that proxy won't be able to interpret the response correctly. > much. Cache-control support is a similar example; you do not need an > HTTP/1.1 message to support Cache-controls. cache-control is end-to-end, iirc.. Totally different, right?
