Well I was really asking what change you would like to see. There are three paragraphs dealing with the lack of Accept-Encoding, are you pro- posing to replace all of them by saying, if you can send it without any encoding, then you must send it without any encoding if A-E is missing? Or would you go even further and prohibit sending an encoded body even if the server cannot send an unencoded body (you'd send 406 instead)? -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
