Hi, As https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/pull/380, I have created a PR that clarifies the meaning of consecutive 103 responses sent before a final response. Basically, I consider it as an editorial issue, however I would appreciate it if you could give me comments (especially if you oppose to the text) before I merge. The PR is in response to the issue (https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/371) recently raised by Dragana. It asks if the following 103 replaces the header set included in an older 103 or if it is just adding headers to the older set, when multiple 103s are used. My answer is that since the nonexistence of a header field in 103 is not a speculation that the header field would be absent in the final response, we should consider the following 103 as an addition of new header fields to the older 103 rather than a replacement of the header set; otherwise, we would be introducing a rule that is specific to the multiple 103 case. The PR clarifies that. -- Kazuho Oku
