Section 4.3 states <quote> The presence of a message-body in a request is signaled by the inclusion of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header field in the request's message-headers. A message-body MUST NOT be included in a request if the specification of the request method (Section 5.1.1) does not allow sending an entity-body in requests. </quote> I do not see any place in the specification where it says that any request does not allow sending an entity-body. I might guess that GET and HEAD do not allow an entity-body, but isn't the spec supposed to remove guesswork? The spec would be better if, for each request method, it were stated whether or not an entity-body is allowed. Scott NicholReceived on Thursday, 29 November 2007 22:36:01 GMT
