I'm pretty sure some servers do that (when redirecting to the "canonical" URI). > 2: According to rule 2 of [1] ""If the response status code is 204, 206, > or 304 and the request method was GET or HEAD"" - I'm wondering, under > what circumstances would you ever use GET or HEAD with 204 No Content? Personally I wouldn't (and use 200 with content-length 0). But the spec still needs to say how it should be treated... Best regards, Julian
