(excluding the pathological > case where a 1.0 client mistakes an origin for a proxy) This isn't necessarily pathological. My home network includes a proxy; it runs Apache with mod_proxy, and that same Apache also serves up its own content. It has two CNAMEs, "proxy" and "www"; my browser is configured to use "proxy" as its proxy. So, if I send my browser to http://www/foo.html, then Apache gets a request whose request-URI is http://www/foo.html. It knows that www is itself, so it delivers its own content. -- /============================================================\ |John Stracke |http://www.ecal.com|My opinions are my own.| |Chief Scientist |===========================================| |eCal Corp. |"Who died and made you king?"
