The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7230,
"Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Message Syntax and Routing".
--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6890
--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Tim Düsterhus <duesterhus@woltlab.com>
Section: 3.2
Original Text
-------------
field-content = field-vchar [ 1*( SP / HTAB ) field-vchar ]
Corrected Text
--------------
field-content = field-vchar [ 1*( SP / HTAB / field-vchar ) field-vchar ]
Notes
-----
The ABNF currently rejects "1 2 3" as a valid header value, as the field-content production either matches a single character or two characters separated by whitespace. Thus it consumes the "1 2", leaving "<space>3" which does not match field-value.
This error is already fixed in https://httpwg.org/http-core/draft-ietf-httpbis-semantics-latest.html#rfc.section.5.5

-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
