The acceptance of arbitrary order in a query component of a URI is, at its broadest, specific to a scheme. In the case of HTTP and 'http' URIs, the acceptance of arbitrary order in a query component is specific to the server. Some administrators may enforce an order within query components, responding to Request-URIs having disordered query components with 404 responses, or, better yet, with 3xx responses. -- Etan Wexler <mailto:ewexler@stickdog.com>Received on Thursday, 14 November 2002 07:11:05 GMT
