I think not. But I'm left wondering why it was done that way ? Save-Data: on;video-only looks fine, until you try to extend it and end up with: Save-Data: on;video-and-big-pictures-unless-cute-kittens I would have leveraged mime-types and our existing "grading" tool: Save-Data: video/*;q=1,audio/*;q=5 But I'm not a stakeholder in this, so that is just an observation. -- 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.
