A quick look at the RFCs, and new-httpd archive, and I believe this might be a holdover from HTTP/1.0, or some borrowed old code. I don't remember this ever being discussed on new-httpd. I'll look some more later tonight. So there might be no good reason for it, unless someone can remember otherwise. Chuck Chuck Murcko Topsail Group http://www.topsail.org/
