HTTP Trace method and Query

Should the first line of trace echo the query string or not ?
Or is it up to container (web server ?)

WAS, TOMCAT, WLS all return trace without the query string
so if you browse

http://localhost/path?query

server responds with:

TRACE http://localhost/path HTTP/1.1

But I have seen containers returning

TRACE http://localhost/path?query HTTP/1.1


Any ideas why someone does not want to echo query ?

.href or setAttribute("href") in MSIE "sometimes" overrides the link text

Call to .href or setAttribute("href") in MSIE "sometimes" overrides the link text

If the text link contains ..@.. (hard to say exactly).
However MSIE DOES NOT override
the text if A tag contains other elements.

jQuery.attr does not solve the problem (or I use wrong API ?)

Proposed detection:

var supports = new (function() {
var a = document.createElement("a");
t = a.innerHTML = "a@a";
a.href = "http://msie";
this.aTextHrefOverride = (a.innerHTML != t);
});


Proposed solution:

var setAttributeHref = !supports.aTextHrefOverride ? function(that, value) { that.setAttribute("href", value); } : function(that, value) {
var t1 = getTextContent(that), t2;
that.setAttribute("href", value);
if ((t2 = getTextContent(that)) != t1) {
// asrt(has only text child no element childs);
setTextContent(that, t1);
}
}

getTextContent, setTextContent are XB helpers over .text and .textContent
properties.
