Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide • November 2001
Netscape Enterprise Server supports HTTP 1.1. Some previous versions of the
server supported HTTP 1.0. The server is conditionally compliant with the HTTP
1.1 proposed standard, as approved by the Internet Engineering Steering Group
(IESG) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) HTTP working group. For
more information on the criteria for being conditionally compliant, see the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol—HTTP/1.1 specification (RFC 2068) at:
