Re: HTML Validator HTTP Accept

I think I don't do that.

In PHP, $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'] includes only MIME Types the browser
accepts, and not the ones the browser does not.

Anyway, regarding the link you gave me about the protocol
specification, I don't know how to use these qvalues in PHP. I don't know
what
headers should I send or check for.
