No. It is parsed as an entity-header. > All entity headers are end to end are they not? Anything in the spec that says something is end-to-end or hop-by-hop will be rewritten soon. Fields are hop-by-hop when they are listed in Connection (or are Connection). All others are end-to-end. > Therefore it's illegal to specify any entity header in the Connection header. That does not change how they are handled. ....Roy
