What is "encapsulations" in "history" section meaning for?

"instantiations" might be a better word to use here

"Don Gillies took over the project in the spring of 2000 and enhanced the protocol to allow pipelined ICAP servers and to support all 3 encapsulations of HTTP allowed by HTTP 1.1."

In RFC 2616, http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html, the term "encapsulation" just appears in 3.7.2 Multipart Types: "MIME provides for a number of "multipart" types -- encapsulations of one or more entities within a single message-body."

Please cited the reference for this sentence. Petertc (talk) 09:16, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
