The 205 status MUST NOT contain a entity body and this includes NO "content-length" and "transfer-encoding" headers. Referencing RFC2616. It is stated in 10.2.6 "205 Reset Content" as you described. 4.4 "Message Length" Condition 1 states: Any response message which "MUST NOT" include a message body (...) is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields, regradless of the entity-header fields present in the message. (...) gives examples of such responses, it does NOT specify them. The behaviour of the Apache httpd proxy code conforms to the specificion. - Joris >-----Original Message----- >From: ietf-http-wg-request@w3.org >[mailto:ietf-http-wg-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Joe Orton >Sent: zondag, 19 september 2004 10:42 >To: ietf-http-wg@w3.org >Subject: "205" status code > > >The section on the 205 status code text includes the text: > > "The response MUST NOT include an entity" > >The Apache httpd proxy code treats 205 like 204 or 304: >implicitly no message body, regardless of any >Content-Length/Transfer-Encoding headers sent. > >It wasn't entirely clear whether this was correct from 2616: >neither section 4.3 or 4.4 mentions 205 alongside 1xx, 204 and >304 as responses. >Can anyone clarify? > >joe > > >
