For example 1.0 UA ---------> 1.1 Proxy ---------> 1.0 Origin Server will result in a 1.1 cookie being sent to a 1.0 user agent. The only features of HTTP that can depend on a minor version number change are those that are interpreted by neighbors in the communication. Other feature changes require changes to the content, such as a different header field name. ...Roy T.
