In the XMLHttpRequest spec, for setRequestHeader(), the spec states: "If the header argument is in the list of request headers either use multiple headers, combine the values or use a combination of those (section 4.2, RFC 2616). [RFC2616]" And RFC 2616 states: "Multiple message-header fields with the same field-name MAY be present in a message if and only if the entire field-value for that header field is defined as a comma-separated list" So, what should the UA do for headers that are not defined to be comma-separated? For example, in the case of setting Content-Type twice to two different values, does the latter override the former? [...] client.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain"); client.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/html"); client.send(data); -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
