RFC 1808 does not allow it though, so quite possibly RFC 2616 failed to account for the change between RFC 1808 and RFC 2396. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
