The spec is clear on > the fact that the minor version number in the response does 1 (but > only for this particular request!), not 2. I guess it's not clear... because I thought it did 2, not 1. I guess the choices are vauge to begin with. I interpret "servers capabilities" to mean "this server supports HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 or whatever", and "level of the response" to mean "this response is compliant with HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 or whatever". And it's very clear from the spec that the latter is true - otherwise you wouldn't have all that stuff about persistent connections and such with HTTP/1.1 labels. OTOH, I can see how choices 1 and 2 could be interpreted directly opposite of what I just said. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Alexei Kosut <akosut@nueva.pvt.k12.ca.us> The Apache HTTP Server URL: http://www.nueva.pvt.k12.ca.us/~akosut/ http://www.apache.org/
