If a 1.0 proxy forwards a request and gets back a 1.1 response, it is allowed to switch to tunnel behavior and forward the exact response to the client, 1.1 version number included. So what you have seen need not be a bug in the CERN 3.0 proxy, it may be the CERN 3.0 proxy switching to tunnel behavior. On the other hand, if you are sure you are getting the 1.1 response from CERN proxy cache memory, without the origin server being contacted, then there _is_ a bug in the CERN 3.0 proxy. Does the Date header change in subsequent responses? >Dave Morris Koen.
