We are primarily interested in testing RFC 2616 MUST-level requirements, or discovering the results of such tests if they have already happened. Specifically, section 10.1: "Proxies MUST forward 1xx responses, unless the connection between the proxy and its client has been closed, or unless the proxy itself requested the generation of the 1xx response." So if a server sends an unrequested, unrecognized 1xx response (say 103), how do current proxies respond? We are interested in HTTP/1.0 proxies in addition to HTTP/1.1 proxies. Speaking of which, does anybody have any statistics on the relative distribution of such proxies in the wild? Charles
