httpbis: Ticket #3: Chunk Size Definition
Link: http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/3
Component:
p1-messaging
In the description of chunked transfer encoding [section 3.6.1],
the syntax for a chunk is given as:
chunk = chunk-size [ chunk-extension ] CRLF
chunk-data CRLF
The accompanying text defines chunk-size incorrectly as:
The chunk-size field is a string of hex digits indicating the size of the
chunk.
This doesn't correctly describe what octets the chunk-size field is
counting; it should be:
The chunk-size field is a string of hex digits indicating the size of the
chunk-data in octets.
(in other words, the chunk length does not include the count of the octets
in the chunk header and trailer).
