Any agent which parses and understands Connection (i.e. to filter out named headers) _must_ also understand and parse Transfer-Encoding, as it determines the message boundary. Therefore there is nothing to be gained by putting Transfer-Encoding in Connection. Mentioning it is always redundant. This isn't true of the other hop-by-hop headers. -- Jamie
