--- Comment #8 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> 2010-09-21 10:56:59 EDT --- Mark, I've just glanced-over RFC 2616 and I can't find any HTTP methods (defined in section 9) that specifically prohibit a request body. On the other hand, section 4.3 says: " The presence of a message-body in a request is signaled by the inclusion of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header field in the request's message-headers. A message-body MUST NOT be included in a request if the specification of the request method (section 5.1.1) does not allow sending an entity-body in requests. " There's a short discussion that can be found here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2006AprJun/0103.html I tend to agree with one of the contributor's assertion that the principle of robustness applies, here: we shouldn't actively prohibit a request body from being sent, here. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
