I would like to propose that CONTINUATION be removed to an extension as well then. Several people here have already said that they are not going to implement CONTINUATION and there is presently no way to negotiate if CONTINUATION will be available or not end-to-end. CONTINUATION seriously inflates and complicates the draft-RFC with its many mysterious and counter-intuitive rules (Such as "END" flags which suddenly don't mean "END" and so on.) There is also no published implementation experience with CONTINUATION that shows it to be a particular good solution to anything in particular or for that matter at all. -- 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.
