According to The Book [1] ;-) there should be at least one space (SP) (as far as I understand this is really a true honest space, Unicode codepoint 32. It is /not/ part of the message (aka "reason phrase") , but a separator. The rule is: status-line = HTTP-version SP status-code SP reason-phrase CRLF The reason phrase itself can contain whatever funny whitespace it wants: reason-phrase = *( HTAB / SP / VCHAR / obs-text ) and it /can/ be empty. That said I'd agree that it makes sense to tolerate a missing SP there. The legal minimum seems thus to be HTTP-version SP status-code SP CRLF > but unfortunately I > came across with some http services (redfish, cimc from Cisco ) uh-oh. All bets are off, then ;-) > where they don't put a reason phrase. That would be OK, but they also eat the mandatory separator space before the empty reason phrase. Bad folks, bad ;-) As an onlooker I haven't much to say, but I think you are right (but not Cisco :) Cheers - t
