[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFWIP-284) Clarify what is invalid header name
[
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFWIP-284?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin...
]
Darran Lofthouse resolved WFWIP-284.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Rejected
The "Obsoleted By" / "Updated By" specifications are only replacing or
enhancing specific sections of the HTTP 1.1 RFC, I see nothing that replaces the
definitions of the header format.
The RFC however that was used to justify the raising of this bug report is specifically
about e-mail messages - this is clarified within the first sentence of the abstract.
Clarify what is invalid header name
-----------------------------------
Key: WFWIP-284
URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFWIP-284
Project: WildFly WIP
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Tomas Terem
Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
Priority: Blocker
Labels: management
Header names should follow rules described here:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-2.2
However, rules for custom headers seems to be more restrictive - for example @ or = are
not allowed.
I see that these characters are mentioned in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#page-16,
but it only says that they should be in quotes. However I am not able to configure header
containing them in quotes either.
Is this on purpose?
If yes, this needs to be mentioned in analysis&documentation. If not, we need to
create critical JBEAP jira for 7.4
