Re: [Sip] INFO: Case Sensitivity

[Eric Burger]

My mistake: small typo. #3 should be "Keep case INSENSITIVE comparison, and tell IANA not to register multiple package names that might collide in the event someone does to case insensitive comparisons (liberal in what you receive)."

So, we have for your choices:



2. Use case insensitive comparison, like RFC 3261 suggests

I think I will abstain. I didn't realize that 3265 called for case sensitive comparisons. IMO it is the oddball among headers, but it is a good precedent here.

        Thanks,

We had a long discussion about case sensitivity for Info Package names. The current text follows RFC 3265 and avoids charset and I18N issues, by mandating octet-by-octet comparison. Some folks pointed out that RFC 3261 says that headers and header values should be case insensitive.

Please vote:
