In the last paragraph on send(data) (i.e. just above the start of the bit
about the abort() method), there is a statement (which is missing the
word "header" at the end, but that's not the point I wish to raise) :
"it MUST NOT automatically set the Accept."
I think that this is a bad idea, because some servers fail to deliver
resources in the absence of the Accept header where the resource has
multiple variants available. Some older versions of IIS are known to
fail in this manner. There may be others that I'm not aware of too,
obviously.
I see. What you're stating seems also in line with browser behavior so I
have changed this to make Accept handling identical to that of
Accept-Language. Unless it is specified through setRequestHeader() the
user agent should provide it.

I have not followed your request of requiring a particular value as that
does not seem in line with implementations and seems needlessly
restrictive. I hope that's ok.
