Sunava, it would be helpful if you'd use a mail client that can properly quote :-) In your mail your text appears as if it was indirectly quoted by myself... I have reformatted your reply so it becomes clear again who said what. Sunava Dutta wrote: >> Julian Reschke wrote: >> c) >> "- TRACK??? There's probably a rational for that.

Here's something I found on the web: http://www.aqtronix.com/Advisories/AQ-2003-02.txt That implies that Microsoft closed the vulnerability with IIS 6.0, so I'm not entirely sure why a spec in last call in 2008 needs to speak about it. There are surely other old servers that have other vulnerabilities that could be exploited using XHR, should we consider all of these? That being said, I'm ok with *mentioning* the issue somewhere, but just enumerating TRACK along with TRACE, as if this was a standard HTTP method, is *highly* confusing. > ... BR, Julian
