Or the existing SHOULD.. it's a actually fine condition in terms of HTTP functionality, and it being a SHOULD (not a MUST) means that server who can't comply for some reason MAY do what they want but knowing that then clients MAY not do entirely what they expect.. I don't strongly object the suggested changes, but I simply don't see why they are needed. Regards Henrik
