RFC 2616 Errata: Misc. Typos

I've collected several typos; instead of sending out one mail for each, I've decided to just lump them all together in one message. Enjoy!

1. Section 7.1, page 42:

Some of this metainformation is <ins>"</ins>OPTIONAL<ins>"</ins>; some might be <ins>"</ins>REQUIRED<ins>"</ins> by portions of this specification.

2. Section 13.13, page 99:

Even though sometimes such resources ought not <del>to</del><ins>be</ins> cached, or ought to expire quickly, user interface considerations may force service authors to resort to other means of preventing caching (e.g. "once-only" URLs) in order not to suffer the effects of improperly functioning history mechanisms.

3. Section 14.18, page 124:

The field value is an HTTP-date, as described in section 3.3.1; it MUST be sent in <ins>the </ins>RFC 1123 [8]<del>-</del><ins> </ins>date format.

4. Section 14.23, page 129:

A client MUST include a Host header field in all HTTP/1.1 request messages<del> </del>.

5. Section 14.32, page 137:

Note: because the meaning of "Pragma: no-cache<ins>"</ins> as a response<del> </del><ins>-</ins>header field is not actually specified, it does not provide a reliable replacement for "Cache-Control: no-cache" in a response<ins>.</ins>

6. Section 15.6, page 155:

HTTP/1.1<del>.</del> does not provide a method for a server to direct clients to discard these cached credentials.
