It's not that there's any "binding" going on here, it is, IMO, just a recognition that the entire message is important in understanding what information the sender is conveying, not just the payload. If the message were sent over FTP, I'd still be interested in the whole message. The only reason I'm more interested in HTTP is because it's more pervasive. Mark. -- Mark Baker.
