> The Proxy-Connection header can be interpreted unambiguously. No, it can't. That is why it should never be implemented. Since there exist some buggy clents that send it, the proper thing to do in a proxy is strip the header, just like many of the other undocumented bugs in client implementations. That field was created by some folks at Netscape and has never been part of any draft of any version of HTTP. ....Roy
