I know we have a setting for the max header table size, and the recipient can clear the sender's header table by setting the max header table size to 0, but I don't see a way for the sender to clear the recipient's header table - that would be necessary to reset things if the sender did not send the HEADERS frame to the recipient and was unable to revert the header table to its previous state. _________________________________________________________ Michael Sweet, Senior Printing System Engineer, PWG Chair
