What RFC 2616 says is that the media type of the entity body of a message is defined by the Content-Type header; if there is no Content-Type header, then the media type is defined by the implementation; if the implemen- tation fails to define a media type, assume application/octet-stream. If you want to say that the media type of the entity body is defined by the implementation and not the Content-Type header, then you have to change the definition of the Content-Type header. The phrase you pro- pose to remove is there to avoid conflicting definitions of what the media type of the entity body is. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
