Re: [Bug 201] LWS allowed in Coded-URL

If I understand correctly, that's not the only place where RFC2616's  
LWS rules get us into trouble.

    TimeOut = "Timeout" ":" 1#TimeType
    TimeType = ("Second-" DAVTimeOutVal | "Infinite")
    DAVTimeOutVal = 1*digit

Applying the 2616 word-based grammer to those rules, we could have  
Timeout headers like

   Timeout: Second-   	        1111

   Timeout: Second-1   1   1   1

Is my understanding of 2616 BNF grammar correct?  I'm not sure if  
1*DIGIT is one token or several, so it's not entirely clear to me if  
the second example is allowed.  Certainly the intent of 2616 is not to  
allow that because values like Content-Length are defined as 1*DIGIT.
