draft-ietf-httpbis-digest-headers: Wrong trailer field announced in example

Open Andy-2639 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

In draft-ietf-httpbis-digest-headers-13, the example "Use with Trailer Fields and Transfer Coding" uses the header

Trailer: Digest

but sends the trailer

Repr-Digest: \
  sha-256=:RK/0qy18MlBSVnWgjwz6lZEWjP/lF5HF9bvEF8FabDg==:\r\n

I'd expect the Trailer header to be

Trailer: Repr-Digest

so that it's consistent with the actually sent trailer.

Thanks, sounds legit. We'll get this fixed up as part of Auth48 and the RFC will have it addressed.

The fix made it into the final RFC 9530, so I'm closing this.
