I don't think that there is a defined limit (see <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html#message.headers>). The concern was that clients/proxies/servers may indeed be limited, and because the "If" header in theory can get very complex, that would become a problem. What I would like to understand *before* changing RFC2518 is whether the potential implementation limits are in header length, or in header *line* length. In the latter case, the solution would be to just use CRLF inside header lines, as allowed by RFC2616. Did anybody actually ever experience a problem? If not, I'd recommend just leave things as they are in RFC2518. Best regards, Julian
