Almost, but not quite. HTTP transits proxies by using absolute URLs that contain the DNS hostname; the current direction is towards using absolute URLs for everything, but they were originally only used for proxies. CONNECT was invented for HTTPS (i.e., SSL/TLS) proxies where the hostname is/would be encrypted, and proxy participation in the security relationship between the browser and web server (which would allow the proxy to decrypt the hostname) is undesirable. --David --------------------------------------------------- David L.
