Where is the message ammending 5.2.3 which states the v4 Sig packet
contains:
...
- Hashed subpacket data. (zero or more subpackets)
- Two-octet scalar octet count for following unhashed subpacket
data.
- Unhashed subpacket data. (zero or more subpackets)
...
But what I then don't understand : Why does the length-field in a
subpacket uese the 1-2-5 octet length conventions ?
Each subpacket consists of a subpacket header and a body. The
header consists of:
- the subpacket length (1, 2, or 5 octets)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- the subpacket type (1 octet)
- the subpacket specific data
I can't see a subpacket type that could use a 5 octet length.
