Re: Proxies (includes call for adopting new work item, call for input)

So the SPDY proxy and Chrome are a split UA as well? A general proxy run by Microsoft for all IEs would be a split UA?
It is not the software vendor "imposing" something to the user here as well?

I generally think of a split UA as being one where both sides are controlled
by the software vendor. E.g., Amazon sells you the Kindle Fire and they
also run the server side. That's different from having the enterprise impose
a proxy on a piece of software which someone else wrote and deployed.

Would not any proxy fall in this split UA category then? What differentiates a proxy from a split UA?
