I think Jonathan's suggestion was to get rid of the variable altogether and simply make the code conditional on whether the server is offering GSS-Negotiate. I plan to make the use of 100-continue conditional on large_request as well, so that it only covers the case where it would otherwise fail. People who have broken proxies or broken servers and are using GSS-Negotiate (which, as I said, is probably very few people, if any) will simply have to increase the postbuffer size as before. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
