It is always a mistake to use a punctuation mark to stand for a symbol IMHO. identity is OK by my reconning although NULL is shorter and may be more descriptive in this context. There are already numerous places in RFC2068 where the "*" syntax is used as a "wildcard", including OPTIONS method Accept: Accept-Language: If-Match: If-None-Match: Vary: And its use has also been last-called in the Content-Range header. To me, it seems odd that Accept-Charset and Accept-Encoding don't already allow a "*" value, given that Accept and Accept-Language do. -JeffReceived on Monday, 21 July 1997 17:06:58 UTC
