Ok, so let me clarify: I have always hated the confusion in HTTP/1 between content compressed for transport purposes, and content compressed for application purposes. In the former class you have HTML, javascript, CSS etc. In the latter class you have things like .tgz, gzip'ed XML etc. It's the former class I want to cut all the way into the bone and take out of "Accept-Encoding" negotiation. Accept-Encoding should be reserved only for the second class. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
