I wouldn't be surprised if some implementation out there actually parses it as a -1 length, leading to goodness knows what mayhem :-) Any reason why "0;reason=aborted" cannot be used? It's valid in RFC 2616 chunk-extension syntax, so anything which can accept chunked requests really ought to accept this. -- Jamie
