Ah, best check again or maybe re-think what you wrote.

 Best check this also [hint: it has to do with servers and protocols].

 Hey, we're defining things here. Let's not leave something that might
be needed, and is.

 And Microsoft, one of the places this is being posted to.

 I would suggest the actual Internet Consortium, Internet defining
authorities, and the like. And reviewing a few of the actual documents
pursuant the Internet, protocols, etc., might help.
 wikipedia is such a waste of time unless one actually READS the linked
documents, visits the sites referenced, and the like, and expands from
there. Otherwise you get the short explanations for common folk and
those are generally misconstrued by those reading them. They have no
background from which to work.

 Would you like me to post the links for you?
