Right, for a proxied OPTIONS request, the special casing in RFC 7230 section 5.3.4 covers mapping "OPTIONS http://some.host" to "OPTIONS *". But you don't proxy OPTIONS requests with "Connection: upgrade". But my original point was that "OPTIONS *" is used to upgrade the connection to the endpoint, with "*" meaning "the server as a whole". You may not like "*", but more than 10^9 existing clients have software that uses it for secure printing, and its use has been a proposed standard for a long time. _________________________________________________________ Michael Sweet, Senior Printing System Engineer, PWG Chair
