>their original values. The protocol specification will state that MKREF >MUST have Content-Length = 0, and the server MUST ignore any content sent >with the request. Be careful in stating this requirement. Either the MKREF method is not allowed to have a message-body (in which case Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding MUST NOT be given) or you want to preserve that as a future option (in which case the requirement should be that any message-body MAY be ignored). There should be no restriction on the value of Content-Length. This is something I fixed in the v11-rev-03 definition of OPTIONS, since specifying a specific value for Content-Length is both inadequate and overly specific for saying use of the message-body is not defined. ....Roy
