4.1.6. Serializing a String https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-header-structure-15#section-4.1.6 Output is restricted ASCII, but this alogrithm seems not say that input_string is limited to ASCII | Given a string as input_string, return an ASCII string suitable for | use in a HTTP header value. | | 1. If input_string is not a sequence of characters, or contains | characters in the range %x00-1f or %x7f (i.e., is not in VCHAR or | SP), fail serialisation. In other words, should this fail serialization if input_string is not ASCII string ? Now failing is implicit, because there is just | 2. Append char to output. And if char is not ASCII then "return an ASCII string" part is violated. / Kari Hurtta
