The major exception is negative numbers, it's not uncommon to see dates being 1969-12-31 23:59:59Z and I don't belive the HPACK numeric encoding handles that ? Also, the string exception will still be needed for the case where the date is misformatted on arrival at h1->h2 proxies. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
