Had I been aware of this I would not when a client is 1.0 and the server is 1.1, then this would be true, the response header has no meaning except the server's highest version (for subsequent responses) since it can assume a 1.0 entity respondse since it gave a 1.0 request. However, when a client is 1.1 and the server is 1.0, the client cant make assumptions about the reponse, it uses the response version to notice that it is talkig to a 1.0 server. > -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Josh R Cohen /Server Engineer josh@early.com Netscape Communications Corp. josh@geeks.org (This message is sent from my private email account to reach me for business related issues, mailto:josh@netscape.com ) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
