One reason is that HTTP responses can indicate their end by closing the connection. I've certainly seen many very large HTTP responses that did not indicate a length at all (finite and infinite responses). This is very noticable because the download's progress indicator appears broken. (I'd also attribute very little value to such observations, for instance, it is apparently possible to conduct in-depth studies of billions of web pages without ever encountering a single site that delivers different content based on the Accept-Language header you send, even if your employers main web site does do that on its main page. Not to mention that if you have static resources you wish to add to a view, you are likely better off sending a HTTP reference than pushing it over WebSockets each time, so you can benefit from caching.) -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
