There's something askew grammatically there (the implicit subject of 
the last clause is "a server," but the verb is "have").  I tried 
rephrasing:

"If a server supports the MODE STREAM, CHECK, and TAKETHIS commands, it 
MUST return a 203 response to the MODE STREAM command (or 501 if an 
argument is given), [but / and] the command MUST NOT have any other 
effect."

But that's a little awkward regardless of if I use "but" or "and"?  I'm 
having trouble with this one.
