--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Semyon Kholodnov <joker.vd@gmail.com>
Section: 6.3
Original Text
-------------
o If the received protocol is HTTP/1.0, the "keep-alive" connection
option is present, the recipient is not a proxy, and the recipient
wishes to honor the HTTP/1.0 "keep-alive" mechanism, the
connection will persist after the current response; otherwise,
Corrected Text
--------------
o If the received protocol is HTTP/1.0, the "keep-alive" connection
option is present, either the recipient is not a proxy or the
message is a response, and the recipient wishes to honor the
HTTP/1.0 "keep-alive" mechanism, the connection will persist after
the current response; otherwise,
Notes
-----
This bullet is clearly intended to be there to introduce "A proxy server MUST NOT maintain a persistent connection with an HTTP/1.0 client" requirement later in the text; however, as it's worded, it technically also prohibits HTTP/1.1-proxies to maintain a persistent connection with an HTTP/1.0 *server*.
