Hi

I am currently making a research related to different HTTP server  
implementations.

To make my research results complete, I would like to know if Nginx web  
server is fully compliant with the following IETF recommendations:

- HTTP/1.0 specification RFC 1945,
- HTTP/1.1 specification RFC 2616, and
- the URI generic syntax specification RFC 2396.

Thanks in advance.

Isn’t the point of “research” that you actually, er, _research_ these  
things yourself?

For example, writing a test suite of clients and tests that you can  
point at various HTTP servers to discover their RFC/etc compliance  
levels?
