The segment of webmasters who usually introduce themselves as "being in the multimedia business" would not agree with you about that. Since their pink bits account for between one and two thirds of all HTTP traffic, I think it would be a bad idea to marginalize them, even if they don't participate directly and don't come to the meetings. And: The length extension proposal is not *just* about solving bulk transfer, it is *also* about getting rid of the CONTINUATION kludge. -- 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.
