It means all header fields that strat with the prefix "Content-", regardless of where they were defined.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

Fixed in [333]:

Resolve #103: explain shorthand notation "Content-*" (closes #103).

From [1158]:

Replaced the general prohibition on unrecognized Content-* header fields with a specific prohibition of Content-Range (the only field for which it is an actual problem) and a general requirement regarding checking for consistency. Unfortunately, this required rewriting the entire section on PUT to get rid of the misconceptions about storing resources and reflect how PUT is actually implemented in practice.

Addresses #79, #102, #103, #104, #112, #180, #231, and #267
