Yuxuan Wang commented on THRIFT-5541:
-------------------------------------
This is [clearly defined in the
spec|https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/f0336417cae1c32f4ea59a9f9851a15f269340f7/doc/specs/HeaderFormat.md?plain=1#L80-L81]
as:
{noformat}
key/value pairs of varstrings (varint16 length plus no-trailing-null
string).{noformat}
I'm not sure which part of that is ambiguous.
> Header spec is ambiguous about key format

> Key: THRIFT-5541
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5541
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Reporter: Marco Ferrer
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current header specification does not specify what is considered a valid
> format for keys. Looking at the most common networking protocols (http/http2)
> we see specifics as to what keys characters are allowed and their formatting.
> There is no equivalent definition in thrift.
> The thrift header spec should clarify things like case sensitivity, behavior
> for trailing whitespace and non-ascii characters.
