Expectation Extensions

Reported by: mnot@… Owned by: draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics@…
Priority: normal Milestone: 24
Component: p2-semantics Severity: In WG Last Call
Keywords: Cc:

Description

p2 5.1.1 requires that an unrecognised expectation be replied to with a 417 Expectation Failed.

In my testing, it's fairly common for servers to ignore an unregistered expectation (e.g., "foo").

Given how many problems we already have with Expect, should we consider disallowing further extensions here, and removing this requirement?

From [2380]:

Remove the Expect extension mechanism to focus on the definition of 100-continue; allow proxies to generate 100 on behalf of inbound HTTP/1.0 servers; addresses #458 and #468
