See RFC 2616 ( http://www.innosoft.com/rfc/rfc2616.html#sec-4.1 ) Quoting: ---- Request (section 5) and Response (section 6) messages use the generic message format of RFC 822 [9] for transferring entities (the payload of the message). Both types of message consist of a start-line, zero or more header fields (also known as "headers"), an empty line (i.e., a line with nothing preceding the CRLF) indicating the end of the header fields, and possibly a message-body. generic-message = start-line *(message-header CRLF) CRLF [ message-body ] ---- The CRLF that separates the headers from the body is not part of either. Since it is not part of the body, it is not included in the content length. -- Scott Lawrence Director of R & D <lawrence@agranat.com> Agranat Systems Embedded Web Technology http://www.agranat.com/
