Hi,
I have a setup where I have my own variant of a ProxyHandler within
undertow.
In one case, I proxy requests towards an IIS running MailEnable - if I try
to download a webmail attachment where the filename contains non-ascii
characters, MailEnable sends the filename in UTF-8 characters in the HTTP
header.
I guess this is kinda a violation of the HTTP protocol, but thats how it is.
When I run my undertow proxy using HTTP1.1 between the browser and
undertow, everything works as expected - the browser detects and supports
UTF-8 characters in the filename in the HTTP headers.
But, if I run HTTP/2 between the browser and undertow, using Chrome I am
getting an SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR displayed within chrome.
So, I guess that it is because Chrome chokes on the UTF-8 characters in the
HTTP/2 headers - I tried digging into the spec but I cannot really find
anything mentioned there regarding restrictions on header content - just on
header naming.
Any suggestions ? I could of course strip the invalid characters from the
response header before forwarding them but wanted to check if there is a
better way first....

Does it work with other browsers? Its possible that we have a bug in how we
handle this, but I think it is more likely that chrome is just being more
strict with HTTP/2 and enforcing the spec.

" Historically, HTTP has allowed field content with text in the
ISO-8859-1 charset [ISO-8859-1], supporting other charsets only
through use of [RFC2047] encoding. In practice, most HTTP header
field values use only a subset of the US-ASCII charset [USASCII].
Newly defined header fields SHOULD limit their field values to
US-ASCII octets. A recipient SHOULD treat other octets in field
content (obs-text) as opaque data."

Maybe you could use RFC2047 encoding, although I don't think it is
particularly widely used, but I guess chrome probably supports it.
Looking at our HTTP/2 encoder it does not attempt to deal with UTF-8 at
all, it just casts the character to a byte, so we would not be encoding the
characters properly anyway, but I am not sure if it matters as I don't
think the browser would treat them as UTF-8 anyway.

Thanks for your fast response.
It fails in edge, and firefox too, so unfortunately not just chrome.
I agree with you that the IIS server is violating the spec - it should
never attempt to send UTF-8 encoded characters in the header, but it does
so anyway and it works with chome, firefox and edge when using http1.1
(they must autodetect the utf-8 encoding) - but with http/2 it fails on the
transport level somewhere.
I guess that undertow should not really try to guess a codepage and encode
it different, so there is probably not anything else to do - I just wanted
to check if there could be another bug that caused the protocol violation
error, or if you know of the http/2 spec mentioning anything about this, or
if undertow did something special with non-ascii characters.
I'll try encoding the header if I detect non-ascii characters in it and see
how it goes...
Below is the information from a trace in my proxy - sorry for the image,
but it doesn't cut'n paste well - the odd characters in the
Content-Disposition field are UTF-8 encoded version of of the danish letter
"å" (å in html)
