#416 closed design (wontfix)

Explicitly Hop-by-Hop

Description

5.6 Message Routing -- 2616 listed several headers that are always hop-by-hop, whether or not they show up in Connection; e.g., Keep-Alive, Upgrade, TE. This spec AFAICT does not enumerate them, which may cause interop problems. Was that intentional?

Change History (3)

comment:1 Changed 8 years ago by mnot@…

In Atlanta:

rf: this will be forwarded if they aren't in the connection header; having a list would cause problems with intermediaries that pass these

mnot: this could surprise some people and should be called out

rf: this should be noted as a change from 2616

jr: we already have this

mnot: we probably need a callout for this one

rf: I'm trying to reduce the number of occurences of this; they don't help the people reading the document for the first time

As long as it isn't removed from Changes from RFC2616, I'm OK.
