Since all "regular" user agents support downloading files, "Accept: */*" would be okay for them (some user agents even send this), as long as the server is also configured to serve popular formats like HTML with higher priority than less popular formats. Note that thinking of the future, where the format priority in the server might change, this might also be a compatibility trap. I myself would prefer to wait 0.2s longer for each document entity, e.g. 2 seconds for a document with 9 images over ISDN, if the benefit would be a properly working content negotiation. I'm glad that Mozilla negotiates to accept application/xhtml+xml with higher priority than text/html, and I would like to see a tradition of proper content negotiation being established. -- Christian Hujer Free software developer E-Mail: Christian.Hujer@itcqis.com WWW: http://www.itcqis.com/ http://daimonin.sf.net/
