My server responds with Expectation Failed if you send a token in Expect: that it doesn't recognize... Yes, this was not in 2068, but this is not the only thing we've added. I believe that the MUST should stand; making it a SHOULD renders the Expect feature almost useless. -- Scott Lawrence Consulting Engineer <lawrence@agranat.com> Agranat Systems, Inc.
