Ah, I misunderstood the problem. You are correct: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.13 """ The Content-Length entity-header field indicates the size of the entity-body, in decimal number of OCTETs, sent to the recipient or, in the case of the HEAD method, the size of the entity-body that would have been sent had the request been a GET.""" -joe -- Joe Gregorio http://bitworking.org _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
