Update on issue 155 (Content Sniffing)

Hi,

we discussed the issue of content sniffing again during the HTTPbis WG 
meeting and the general feeling was that we were going to far with the 
statement:

"Note that neither the interpretation of the data type of a message nor 
the behaviors caused by it are defined by HTTP; this potentially 
includes examination of the content to override any indicated type 
("sniffing")."

The proposal is to remove this altogether.

See <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/155#comment:3>

Feedback appreciated,

Julian
