I too agree on this. In my opinion, what made HTTP succeed so well is that there are places for any sort of new component that can fit a given application's usage. Almost everything can be inserted between two ends to extend features, performance, security, filtering, etc... We clearly need some polishing on the semantics to avoid interoperability issues we have all been facing from time to time, but I think the model is fine. Willy
