Hi, the spec currently says: "Clients SHOULD only send a Date header field in messages that include a payload, as is usually the case for PUT and POST requests, and even then it is optional. A client without a clock MUST NOT send a Date header field in a request." (this comes from RFC 2616). This is very wrong: "SHOULD only .. and even then it is optional". So, if it's optional, it's MAY. I don't believe we need to say that clients "MAY" send a Date header :-). Can we simplify that, or even remove it? (see <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/248>) Best regards, Julian
