Pre-existing XHR code might get confused if the results from getResponseHeader() change in the course of loading more of the stream. Seems safer to keep it separate, if it is useful to pass this info at all. Also, header fields like Content-Type are probably not going to have their usual effect if sent as trailers. So it's good to distinguish for that reason too. Regards, Maciej
