Ok, I *really* don't want to open this up again full-blown, but I just have to ask ...

Wouldn't the prior knowledge of HTTP application semantics by an HTTP intermediary qualify? I would agree that, for example, an SMTP message isn't visible to an HTTP intermediary. But there's shared knowledge on application semantics in the HTTP/HTTP case. I'm not trying to conclude the previous thread. Just hoping that we can find agreement on *some* degree of loss in visibility with the method in the body. MB -- Mark Baker.
