In his 1967 paper *A convenient category of topological spaces*,
Norman Steenrod introduced the category *CGH* of <b>compactly generated Hausdorff spaces</b>
as a good replacement of the catgory *Top* topological spaces, in order to do homotopy theory.

The most important defference between *CGH* and *Top* is that in *CGH* there is a functorial homeomorphism $$\mathrm{map}(X,\mathrm{map}(Y,Z))\cong \mathrm{map}(X\times Y,Z),$$
a fact that is only true in *Top* under the extra assumption that $Y$ is locally compact.
<hr>

But in more recent papers, I see that people use *CG<b>W</b>H* spaces instead of *CGH* spaces...
Why?<br>

Could someone explain to me what goes wrong in *CGH* spaces
(please illustrate with an example),<br> and explain how the *"w"* fixes everything?

Also (following Jeff's comment), to whom should the *"w"* be attributed?

One more wish: can someone give me an example of a *CGWH* space that isn't *CGH*?
