At 10:42 am 2/2/96 -0800, Paul Hoffman spake: >As to Larry's suggestion of "strongly recommended", I have a >not-well-thought-out idea: allow "Content-Length: -1" to mean "I definitely >don't (or can't) know the content length and I might use disconnect >instead". This lets 1.1-aware clients know more than just "the server >thinks it knows the length" and to be more prepared for disconnects. This is likely to break some current software that would think "-1" is equal to 0xFFFF bytes. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | BearHeart / Bill Weinman | BearHeart@bearnet.com | http://www.bearnet.com/ | Author of The CGI Book -- http://www.bearnet.com/cgibook/
