Hi, in "3.1.1. Request Line" http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-22#section-3.1.1 There is a strange sentence: HTTP does not place a pre-defined limit on the length of a request- line. A server that receives a method longer than any that it implements SHOULD respond with a 501 (Not Implemented) status code. a method "longer"? The way I understand the sentence is that if the server has implemented the methods, let's say: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS so 7 characters for the longest method. If the server receives a method which is BABOOZILLA it sends a "501 Not Implemented", but then why not for a 2 characters long method like YO What was the reason for this specific requirement on the length of the method. -- Karl Dubost http://www.la-grange.net/karl/
