We added it because Roy (and maybe a few >other server implementors?) wanted to be able to reject long >requests without reading the whole message. No, we could do that already. The reason for it is so that a client which knows that it is talking to an HTTP/1.1 server can at least determine that the action part of the request is OK before it sends all the data, since that is important for some applications. After all, HTTP is used for more things than just GETs and filling-out HTML forms. ....Roy
