One (of many) of the issues with 1xx responses is that people don't know how to surface two responses to one request in APIs and tools. I think we could make things a bit easier for folks if we stated that the headers in a 1xx response are semantically not significant; i.e., it's OK for APIs, etc. to drop them on the floor, because the only information is in the status code. This would mean that people shouldn't put headers on a 1xx response and expect applications to see them -- which I think is already the case today. Thoughts? -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
