Oh, just the RFC that specifies HTTP, maybe?
http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.html#sec-9.1
Break this assumption at your own peril. Data loss and security
holes lie that way.

Parenthetical:
Since this is often misunderstood, note that “SHOULD NOT” does
not mean “well, we don’t know if it’s a good idea, but uhm,
think about whether you want to, pretty please,” it is
well-defined lingo, specified in RFC 2119:
> SHOULD: This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that
> there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to
> ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be
> understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different
> course.
In other words, “SHOULD NOT” means “ONLY IF YOU ARE AWARE THAT
INTEROPERABILITY IS ENDANGERED AND ARE WILLING TO RISK BROKEN
INTERACTIONS.”
