HTTP 1.1 does not require that a 406 is returned if no acceptable documents are available see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.7 > It does mean (almost) that, and a server returning another content type > would be > in error (unless it was a part of a 406). So this does not address my concern, and your resolution appears to violate HTTP 1.1. Please do not violate HTTP 1.1 Cheers, Jim.
