Right now, this is all we say about chunk-extensions (beyond the BNF, etc.): > All HTTP/1.1 applications MUST be able to receive and decode the > "chunked" transfer-coding and MUST ignore chunk-ext extensions they > do not understand. Since this is an extensibility point, we should give guidance on how it should be used. I can't really see establishing a chunk-extension registry; they don't have any semantic, and AFAIK haven't really been used in anger. What do people think about adding advice along these lines: """ Use of chunk-extensions by senders is deprecated; they SHOULD NOT be sent and definition of new chunk-extensions is discouraged. """ ? -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
