That looks like the list of values for the MIME Content-Transfer-Encoding header (which HTTP/1.1 does not use; see section 19.4.5 of RFC 2616). > Do I have the wrong registry, or is HTTP/1.1 inconsistent wrt the IANA > registry, using terms it claims are registered but in fact are not? I think you have the wrong registry. Looking at http://www.iana.org/numbers.html under "H", I think the "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Parameters" one is the one you want. The linked text "Trasnfer-Coding Values" [sic; I bet this typo is why you couldn't find it] points to http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-parameters which has gzip, etc. -Boris
