    Re: question on whitespace in text negotiations



    They are significant. I will make the text say it explicitly in 3.10.4:
    
    The initiator sends the target a set of key=value or key=list pairs 
    encoded in UTF-8 Unicode. All the text keys and text values specified in 
    this document are to be presented and interpreted in the case they appear 
    in this document (they are case sensitive). White space in key and values 
    is significant. The key and value are separated by a '=' (0x3d) delimiter. 
    Every key=value pair (including the last or only pair) MUST be followed by 
    at least one null (0x00) delimiter.  A list is a set of values separated 
    by comma (0x2c).

    Julian,
         Thanks for answering my previous question.  I have another one for
    you:
         Sections 2.2.4 and 3.10.4 describe the format of text
    requests/responses, but doesn't address whether whitespace is significant
    or should be thrown away.  For example, is "_MaxConnections_=_2" (where _
    represents a space) valid or invalid?  I get the feeling that whitespace 
    is
    significant, but it would be nice if the spec explicitly said so.
    Thanks...
