In message <7D5E6715-1377-45EC-A00E-F3FB6D392AAC@gbiv.com>, "Roy T. Fielding" w rites: >As mentioned before, that statement is false. 101 is never the final >response to the request. Whether or not a later response is in the same >syntax of HTTP is irrelevant to the semantics being described here. Actually 101 can be the final response, it all depends on which protocol you switch to, and since that is outside the scope of HTTPbis there are no absolute answers to this. People use UPGRADE to switch to all sorts of protocols, including, to my horror, TN3270. That is why I wrote that "101 is final as far as HTTP goes." What happens next is simply not part of the HTTPbis standard any more. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
