Uhmm, lets not go overboard here, please ? I'm proposing splitting :query for :path, because it is a well known distinction which through its established use-pattern gives us a handy way to improve compression significantly in common scenarios. We already split the HTTP URL into it's other major parts, :scheme, :authority and :path, so splitting out the last major part is not a big step and involves neither complex text nor introduces a lot of error handling. -- 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.
