Yeah you read it right ... what if a client sent "Accept-Encoding:
chunked" with an HTTP/1.0 request. Right now we ignore it. Should we
accept it and give them a nicely chunked response?
Why? Well ... it's hard to write a HTTP/1.1 proxy, but some of the 1.1
features are easy to add incrementally. This is an easy increment.
Roy is probably puking right now :) He's probably going to say something
like "but this would remove one of the incentives of upgrading proxies to
1.1". Or maybe I'm just putting words in his mouth.
