		Server-driven Negotiation :	If the selection of the best representation for a response is made by an algorithm located at the server,
		it is called server-driven negotiation. Selection is based on the available representations of the response (the dimensions over which it can vary; e.g. language, content-coding, etc.)
		and the contents of particular header fields in the request message or on other information pertaining to the request (such as the network address of the client).
		Server-driven negotiation is advantageous when the algorithm for selecting from among the available representations is difficult to describe to the user agent,
		or when the server desires to send its "best guess" to the client along with the first response (hoping to avoid the round-trip delay of a subsequent request if the "best guess" is good enough for the user).
		In order to improve the server's guess, the user agent MAY include request header fields (Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Encoding, etc.) which describe its preferences for such a response.
