I'm not sure if this is the right way, but there clearly must be a way to pre-reject certain content forms. */*;q=0 would I guess means don't send anything I haven't listed explictly. But since this is optional, the client must be prepared to receive junk anyway. Assuming this is the interpretation or clarification, Jeff's original comment basically still holds as the proxy would know that the origin had only one choice and it wasn't acceptable. Dave Morris
