Hello all,
[To HYBI list members: I am sending the copy of the letter to your list
following the advice of L. Wood (see below).]
L. Wood, the reference you have mentioned does not seem to concern ti
Content-* headers. Moreover, HTTP clients are not able to generate
answer codes, but only requests. This makes your proposal impossible to
implement.
Secondly, proxies usually do not generate separate requests to HTTP
servers but only pass them through. So this will not make any problems.
Best regards,
Mykyta Yevstifeyev

This draft does not discuss the Content-* rule. Content-* headers are special, in that
they may not be ignored (section 9.6 of [RFC2616]). Recipients not understanding
Content-blah: will generate a "501 (Not Implemented)" error code. That
overrides the proposal below, I think.
The proposal in the draft doesn't appear to work with proxies, which often may
be passing through headers that they themselves don't understand.
This draft does not appear to be associated with a working group. I suggest
discussing this on the hybi mailing list; it's a little offtopic, but a bunch
of http experts do read that list and can offer comments.
