Hong, It's not just the "normal" operating mode, it's the _only_ operating mode currently defined. If the client is dead or otherwise hung, a clue isn't going to help. I'm OK with leaving this response code in if it might have some future benefit (like if someone ever writes a draft describing server message pushing ;-)), but as things are written currently I'd consider a server that sends an unsolicited 2501 response to be non-conforming. -Scott-
