   le cas contraire, un cache HTTP 1.0 pourrait cacher la réponse, incluant le
   cookie de persistence inséré, donc provoquer des changements de serveurs pour
   des clients partageant le même cache.
+- lorsque l'application est bien connue, et que les parties nécessitant de la
+  persistence sont systématiquement accédées par un formulaire en mode POST,
+  il est plus efficace encore de combiner le mot clé "postonly" avec "insert"
+  et "indirect", car la page d'accueil reste cachable, et c'est l'application

  *     the snprintf() bug since requests we simple (GET / HTTP/1.0).
  *   - cookie in insert+indirect mode sometimes segfaults !
  *   - a proxy with an invalid config will prevent the startup even if disabled.
+ *   - it may be nice to return HTTP 502 when a server returns no header nor data.
  *
  * ChangeLog :
  *
+ * 2002/07/20 : 1.1.14
+ *   - added "postonly" cookie mode
  * 2002/07/15 : 1.1.13
  *   - tv_diff used inverted parameters which led to negative times !
-  * 2002/07/13 : 1.1.12
+ * 2002/07/13 : 1.1.12
  *   - fixed stats monitoring, and optimized some tv_* for most common cases.
  *   - replaced temporary 'newhdr' with 'trash' to reduce stack size
  *   - made HTTP errors more HTML-fiendly.
