The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7541, "HPACK: Header Compression for HTTP/2". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=7541&eid=4574 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Christian Parpart <trapni@gmail.com> Section: Appendix A. Original Text ------------- Table 1 lists the predefined header fields that make up the static table and gives the index of each entry. Corrected Text -------------- Table 1 lists the predefined header fields that make up the static table and gives the index of each entry. This list of predefined header fields is NOT sorted. Notes ----- The list of header fields actually is sorted except for one field. The field with index 19 should be between the fields with index 14 and 15). That is why it gives the false impression that an implementer may use binary search algorithm to look up for header fields (while encoding) in order to retrieve their index numbers. I highly encourage to at either move that field up or at least clarify that this list (even though it looks sorted), it is not. Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG) can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC7541 (draft-ietf-httpbis-header-compression-12) -------------------------------------- Title : HPACK: Header Compression for HTTP/2 Publication Date : May 2015 Author(s) : R.
