No it doesn't "pre-suppose". It *optimizes* for the most common and highest-performance-pressure use case, so that we have some chance of taking a 40gb/s or 1tb/s firehose and split it out to a multitude of more manageable streams, without holding state. If a proxy wants to examine more fields than what is in the route-header, it's free to do so, but will incur whatever complexity and overhead any compression and/or encryption carries. But I will grant you that putting the method (GET/PUT etc) in there would make sense. -- 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.
