Except the conneg stuff. Are you really saying nobody compresses HTTP payloads on the wire? Because that's a real-world instance of conneg I highly doubt nobody uses. Personally, I cache compressed content and unzip it on the fly, to save CPU on the Celerons driving the budget webhosting world, which finally got around to Vx and threading but still aren't up to the task of ubiquitous HTTPS any more than the SPARC T1. What forms of conneg were you looking for, but apparently didn't find? -Eric
