Not as far as I can tell. I am aware that existing implementations fail to send a body in some cases where they are supposed to send one, and do send one even if they are not supposed to (e.g., they might send a C-L header on POST requests even if you passed null to send). Is there a specific reason why this should not make them non-compliant? -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
