The following errata report has been rejected for RFC7230, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Message Syntax and Routing". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=7230&eid=4281 -------------------------------------- Status: Rejected Type: Editorial Reported by: Demian Brecht <demianbrecht@gmail.com> Date Reported: 2015-02-26 Rejected by: Barry Leiba (IESG) Section: 3.3.2 Original Text ------------- For messages that do not include a payload body, the Content-Length indicates the size of the selected representation (Section 3 of [RFC7231]). Corrected Text -------------- For outbound messages that do not include a payload body, the Content-Length indicates the size of the selected representation (Section 3 of [RFC7231]). Notes ----- Assuming my interpretation is correct, this phrase as-is is a little confusing given the next paragraphs states: "A user agent SHOULD NOT send a Content-Length header field when the request message does not contain a payload body and the method semantics do not anticipate such a body." The former is ambiguous, the latter explicit. --VERIFIER NOTES-- The sentence in question has to be taken in context with the entire paragraph, with the rest of the section, and with the understand that it's only a summary. The details are provided in the rest of the section and in Section 3.3.3. -------------------------------------- RFC7230 (draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-26) -------------------------------------- Title : Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Message Syntax and Routing Publication Date : June 2014 Author(s) : R.
