Hello! Some time ago we had the discussion about the CONNECT responses and that they should carry a Content-Length header if the result code is 200. We had the example of "Content-Length: 0" but what about letting the tunneled data be part of the request/response? That raises the question: May a successful response overtake the request? The spec has only a POST-rejecting example which does that. And what about if the response measures up to the request? For example an "echo POST", which can answer as far as the request is. - If the request terminates, the response will, too. I see no restrictions in HTTP for that behaviour, does anybody else? CONNECT could be such a "catch up" method. Regards, Robert
