IBM-ICS
Does anyone here know anything about this IBM server that seems
to be popping up at a lot of busy websites?
=> telnet www.nagano.olympic.org 80
Trying 204.146.81.1...
Connected to www.nagano.olympic.org.

Oh damn. Is that what the
draft-ietf-http-http-http-row-row-row-your-boat-00.txt is all about?

No, no, you fool! What it is trying to tell you is that it'll only vary
if you include 12 Accept headers.
Cheers,

Do you think it varies on Accept? I wouldn't have guessed it if there
were only 11 Accept tokens. I would have totally ignored the * too.

First of all, even though I work at IBM, I'm not speaking for them
(and I should never be considered to be doing so from this address),
and I know as much about this server as you all do probably.

As has been pointed out, IBM's Internet Connection Server. IBM's
running all the computer-related stuff for the Olympics, so guess
which server they'd choose. <g>

Cool! What is that supposed to be? Well, it doesn't seem to do this on
a GET request:
GET / HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 200 Document follows.
Server: IBM-ICS/4.2.1.7
Date: Mon, 09 Feb 1998 08:01:49 GMT
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Vary: *, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept, Accept
Content-Location: index.other.html
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 3931

Would this behavior be more or less broken than those servers that
treat HEAD exactly like GET? <g>
