Hi all, RFC 2616 says about "406 Not Acceptable": """ Note: HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request. In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a 406 response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers of an incoming response to determine if it is acceptable. If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further actions. """ This statements is quite unprecise to the least. From past experience what are those "some cases" which may be preferable? How the UA should query the server for further actions?
