Interesting data point. Actually the SASL folks decided to move RFC 2831 to historic soon after they saw the expanded ABNF for 2831bis, but there were other reasons for this decision. And at that point in time I didn't know that 2831 md5-sess and 2617 md5-sess might be incompatible (the fact is hidden in an 2617 erratum). > Looking at a version of the HTTP grammar which expands the > # rule, I must say it's not pretty :-). Truth in advertising. Compare <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.sasl/2758> <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.sasl/2759> It's not _too_ ugly if you're forced to keep it. Frank
