% From: Jeffrey Mogul <mogul@pa.dec.com> % If no Accept-Encoding field is present in a request, the server MAY % assume that the client will accept any content coding. In this % case, if "identity" is one of the available content-codings, then % the server SHOULD use the "identity" content-coding, unless % it has additional information that a different content-coding % is meaningful to the client. While the SHOULD make sense to me, I don't understand the reason for the first MAY. What else could a server do? Reject the request altogether? ciao, .mau.
