Content- Length: nnn Content- Type: application/atom+xml; charset="utf-8" Content- Location: http://example.org/edit/first-post.atom The space following the "Content-" is intended to get around a wiki bug and should be removed from the samples in the spec. - James [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts > directories. > This draft is a work item of the Atom Publishing Format and Protocol Working > Group of the IETF. > > Title : The Atom Publishing Protocol > Author(s) : B. de Hora, J.
