Hello all,
This document summarizes the Last Call for
draft-yevstifeyev-http-headers-not-recognized.
The Last Call was requested on 11 December, 2010 by Alexey Melnikov and
was announced on 13 November, 2010. The period of 32 days has been
assigned for this Last Call, that ends on 14 January, 2011.
The Last call has been requested for version -08. However during the
Last Call 3 new versions appeared. The latest one is -11, submitted on 8
January, 2011
If a draft changes three times during LC, there may be a problem. I
encourage you to go back to the drawing board, and think hard(er about
the feedback you got, in particular
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2010OctDec/0645.html>.
Why do you think that the draft shouldn't be changed during LC?
Moreover, I had some reasons for doing that. firstly, version -09 added
the section that was not present in -08 and if I added it now, there
would not be a possibility to discuss it. Version -10 presented the
most stable one to reflect all the comments I received during the LC.
And -11 was prepared as final for IESG review.
I have fully answered all the question form the message you refer to.
I also mentioned at least once that in many frameworks this is
essentially un-implementable, as different types of header fields are
processed by different, independent layers in the code, and thus
there's no way some part of the code will ever *know* which headers
have been "processed". Do you think that this is not a problem?
That is the issues that would be decided by the implementators.
Moreover, one code layer may support this technology while others may not.
...
* Syntax: Changed. Now is not /token**/but /1*VCAHR /for definition
of the name of the header.
...
Why?
RFC2616 gives the following definition of token:
token = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators>
separators = "(" | ")" | "<" |">" | "@"
| "," | ";" | ":" | "\" |<">
| "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "="
| "{" | "}" | SP | HT
And non-visible chars are not allowed in headers. So only VCHARs.
Best regards, Julian
