Perhaps I'm reading this incorrectly, but I think the grammer says that \t
(0x09) isn't allowed in a text value:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-calsify-rfc2445bis-08#section-3.3.11
text = *(TSAFE-CHAR / ":" / DQUOTE / ESCAPED-CHAR)
; Folded according to description above
ESCAPED-CHAR = ("\\" / "\;" / "\," / "\N" / "\n")
; \\ encodes \, \N or \n encodes newline
; \; encodes ;, \, encodes ,
TSAFE-CHAR = %x20-21 / %x23-2B / %x2D-39 / %x3C-5B /
%x5D-7E / NON-US-ASCII
; Any character except CTLs not needed by the current
; character set, DQUOTE, ";", ":", "\", ","Was this a mistake, or
a deliberate choice? It seem especially wierd given that \t is allowed in a
"value", and I thought the whole intention of the "text" value type was to
allow more characters to be in a value than what "value" allowed.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-calsify-rfc2445bis-08#section-3.1
contentline = name *(";" param ) ":" value CRLF value =
*VALUE-CHAR
VALUE-CHAR = WSP / %x21-7E / NON-US-ASCII
; Any textual characterI think it is a mistake, one that might be easy
to rectify should there be a V09?Nigel
