missing section links in RFC-2744
Describe the issue
The HTML version of RFC-2755 is missing links to sections 5.10 and 5.11; that is, this works:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2744#section-5.9
but this doesn't:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2744#section-5.10
It looks as if there's a missing space in the source, e.g. 5.10.gss_display_name should be 5.10. gss_display_name, and thus it doesn't get parsed correctly. I would just submit an MR to fix that, but I'm not sure where or if those sources are available.
Thanks!
Code of Conduct
- [x] I agree to follow the IETF's Code of Conduct
The missing space is in the canonical RFC text - see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2744.txt. Those files are immutable.
The htmlized output is produced by running https://github.com/ietf-tools/rfc2html over that text file.
As a stretch, we could add a special case to rfc2html to teach it about these missing spaces in rfc2744, but it seems overkill to do so.
It seems worthwhile to me if the source can’t be fixed; I’m writing documentation that refers to this RFC, and it’s unfortunate to be able to link to some sections but not others.
Moving this to the rfc2html project
