I don't think this is a serious enough concern to merit doing anything at all. If this is not possible that's just fine. That having been said, the q-value solution would seem the best to me. I prefer not to use '*' for this, so my choice from your alternatives would be: JM> (c) Accept-Encoding: gzip, compress, identity;q=0.0 Our server doesn't currently do anything with Accept-Encoding (our customers generally don't have the storage to devote to storing multiple encodings, and don't want the CPU spending time creating them) so we have no backward compatibility issue. -- Scott Lawrence EmWeb Embedded Server <lawrence@agranat.com> Agranat Systems, Inc.
