Two (hopefully) simple questions: 1. In a HEAD response, what should Content-Length be set to? The length of the (non-existent) object body, or 0? 2. Is there a view on how locally-time-stamped data should have their Last-Modified GMT computed? It's impractical to recreate the true original GMT time-stamp (as the timezone and daylight savings regime of the place of last modification is usually unknown). Using the current GMT offset will result in the timestamp of some data jumping forwards or backwards an hour, twice a year, which could affect caching. Mike Cowlishaw IBM UK Laboratories
