1) M- ,This may be a dumb question but.. Why 'M-METHOD' and not just 'NS-METHOD'? s/NS/the namespace you define in the man: header/ It seems like this would be more consistent, and would allow association to which extension the method is relevant to. I would think that one could use more than one extension at a time. 2) parameters I can see the utility of the parameters, but I must say Im indifferent about their presence. It doesnt seem to cover extensions which are new parameters to an existing header. If I create a new authentication method instead of digest,basic called 'weak' for example, how would I declare it mandatory? Since the 'weak' would be a parameter to the authorization: header, I wouldnt feel right about prefixing the auth method with the namespace. GET / HTTP/1.1 authorization: 5150-weak creds="must say please" man: http://myauth.mycom/weakling ; ns="5150" ?? josh
