Content-MD5 is not set by most UAs, and so it's useful for the author to set it manually. While it may be difficult to calculate (esp. if the content is a DOMString), it's certainly possible. Likewise, From is not normally set by UAs automatically, and it might be useful in some contexts. I can easily see a case where a library or other XHR application might want to append something to the UA header. Cheers, -- Mark Nottingham mnot@yahoo-inc.com
