Following is a para which i read in one book. I could not understand it. Could somebody please elaborate --------------------------------------------------- An HTTP/1.0 client could send a "Keep-Alive" header to a HTTP/1.1 proxy that did not understand "Connection" but might mistakenly forward it. If the downstream connection also maintained a "Keep-Alive" connection, the proxy in the middle would never receive the closing of the response --------------------------------------------------- My question, is why does it matter. The proxy will just relay whatever comes from actual server to client. Thanks diwakar
