Seems that there are more oddities comming to light every day. Removing RFC1522 from HTTP headers may not be a bad idea then. Anyway, based on the suggestion of several of you, I have moved the discussion to http-wg (mail to http-wg@cuckoo.hpl.hp.com, [un]subscription to http-wg-request@cuckoo.hpl.hp.com). See you there. Martin.
