It's too bad we didn't think of this before... but if a 1.0 client issued a request with an "Accept-Encoding: chunked" it would be nice if we could respond with a chunked response. This thought came up while I was perusing the squid-dev list. They were trying to propose some method of safely knowing a transfer completed under 1.0 ... (they're not quite ready for 1.1 yet). Of course doing that violates #3.6 in rfc2068... Dean
