Does it make sense to ask for OPTIONS * for a particular virtual host on a server? Suppose foo.com offers hosting for a.com and b.com on its server. I can make this request: OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1 Host: a.com Suppose I know that the server at foo.com (a.com) supports HTTP/1.1. How do I make the above request without using a Host header? Like this? OPTIONS http://a.com HTTP/1.1 The words in 5.1.2 don't say what to do if abs_path in an absoluteURI sent to an origin server is null. (For that matter, 5.1.2 doesn't really discuss how an origin server interprets absoluteURI or what forms are valid, as I indicated in an earlier message.) If the answer for null abs_path is, "the same thing as for proxy servers", then my guess above is right. Which means the choice for default abs_path is method-dependent. Dave Kristol
