There's no real point to this, though. The text/html;charset=utf8
is enough to tell you how to interpret the body, and the body itself
will tell you which repertoire(s) are used.
# 9.3 Content-Features
# The Content-Features response header can be used by a server to
# indicate how the presence or absence of particular features in the
# user agent affects the overall quality of the response.
# Content-Features = "Content-Features" ":" feature-list
how does the 'content-features' actually indicate this? This is
confusing to me. Is content-features actually useful at all?
In general, you don't want to list ALL the features that a given piece
of content might exhibit, you only want those that are used to
distinguish one content from another for the purpose of transparent
feature negotiation.
