No problem, don't worry, and I can use more infos :)

Great, thanks.

Thanks for the info, but I have some questions. You said it has been
discussed in the past, but this was working with 2.0 M6. Have you made
some changes recently in this field ?
Do you think this should work as I was expecting, or do I misuse the
concept. Because the RFC
[http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.2.5] say :
The server has fulfilled the request but does not need to return an
entity-body, and might want to return updated metainformation
So one way can be to not set the reference, because it is not mandatory,
but we prefer to set it (it helps the client to be lazy to have such info).

I can send back a string representation with no character (and we will
do that if it is working) but I prefer to not change my code ;)
Regards,
Laurent.
