Try RFC 2616. That's the HTTP/1.1 spec, so you can't get much more
definitive than that. It's a bit of a tome (200ish pages), but if
you're writing even a simple HTTP agent, it's really required
reading. It also points out more information on assorted other
resources like MIME & URL encoding.
That RFC can be found at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt.

You're quite welcome!

OK. That's definitely one thing that will give CF indigestion...

*nods* In general, CF is just picky. As long as you follow the RFC,
you should be okay.
BE AWARE, however that CF disregards the RFC itself in a few spots.
Namely it doesn't use CR/LF to delimit all of its headers as it
should. Tags like CFContent, CFHeader, or anything else that
manipulate the returned headers sometimes use an LF only; even tho
the RFC specifies that CF/LF is REQUIRED. That's something to be
aware of if you'll be parsing returns from CF.
