The editors believe that issue #77 has been addressed in the latest -06 drafts. Specifically, line folding of headers has been deprecated. Proposed text: > Historically, HTTP header field values could be extended over > multiple lines by preceding each extra line with at least one space > or horizontal tab character (line folding). This specification > deprecates such line folding except within the message/http media > type (Section 9.3.1). HTTP/1.1 senders MUST NOT produce messages > that include line folding (i.e., that contain any field-content that > matches the obs-fold rule) unless the message is intended for > packaging within the message/http media type. HTTP/1.1 recipients > SHOULD accept line folding and replace any embedded obs-fold > whitespace with a single SP prior to interpreting the field value or > forwarding the message downstream. -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
