Hi John,

Didier replies:
Thanks for the pointer John. After having read the doc I noticed that it
handles static documents (and quite well I should say), but doesn't handle
dynamically transformed XML documents on the basis of the "accept" header. I
expected to find that in cocoon but couldn't find that feature in this
server extension. It seems that cocoon handles only the "user-agent" pattern
match but not the "accept" request. Maybe I am wrong and didn't checked at
the right place and I'll do a second reading but up to now, no, cocoon seems
to not be totally compliant with the HTTP 1.1 specs, at least when it is a
question of dynamic transformations based on the user agent format
requirements. I'll try to build a small SVG browser prototype and surf the
web to see what will happen.

cheers
Didier PH Martin
