Uhm, I think you're misunderstanding. My proposal is to transport the part of the url after the first '?' in a separate pseudo-header (:query), just line we have already split the url into :scheme, :authority, :method and :path. The main argument is that this will improve compression, since the :path part is much more constant than the :query part. :query parts are and can be used with all :methods. -- 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.
