.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating
response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable
according to the accept headers sent in the request.
.PP
Unless it was a \s-1HEAD\s0 request, the response \s-1SHOULD\s0 include an entity
containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s)
from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate.
The entity format is specified by the media type given in the
Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities
of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice \s-1MAY\s0 be
performed automatically. However, this specification does not define
any standard for such automatic selection.
.PP
.Vb 5
\&  Note: HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are
\&  not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the
\&  request. In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a
\&  406 response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers of
\&  an incoming response to determine if it is acceptable.
.Ve
.PP
If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent \s-1SHOULD\s0 temporarily
stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further
actions.
