RE: LocationTemplate-1G and 2G results

Thanks, that solves many of the problems.  The omission of * is potentially
more serious, it points out that the expected values hadn't been updated
since the resolution of the final encoding issues.  Here's an exhaustive
analysis:

 

First, as noted in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2007Mar/0026.htmlv
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2007Mar/0026.htmlv%20point%
206>  point 6, # isn't allowed in whttp:location.  Therefore we can remove
the two dead-code mentions of it in the encoding algorithm in 6.8.1.1:
'preceded . by a "?" or a "#" character' => 'preceded . by a "?" character'.
I'll record this as a potential erratum.

 

Second, before the ?, I believe the intention was to encode "?" and "/".
After the ?, these characters are no longer harmful, and just make common
things like URL-valued parameters unreadable.  But the spec says the
opposite - that after the "?" one must encode these values, and not encode
them prior to a "?".  This is more substantial because it affects the
expected values.  I think the WG should deal with this prior to the PR
publication, namely, at tomorrow's telcon.  I'll set the expected values
accordingly.

 

Third, the expected values don't currently capture the characters that
SHOULD be encoded.  I'll update this to have two expected values - one for
implementations that ignore the SHOULD, and one for implementations that
honor it.

 

Here's what I think the updated expected values should be (let's hope it's
finally right!) and where Canon and WSO2 fail to match the expected values
(Canon evaluated against SHOULD, WSO2 evaluated against MUST):

Subject: LocationTemplate-1G and 2G results

 


Attached are the results for LocationTemplate-1G and 2G results. Need to
figure out the value for the path element though. Also the * in the last
endpoint is encoded whereas its a character that SHOULD be encoded. 

Thanks,
Keith.
