Subject: MIME header c14n question about the term "character encoded"
My question relates to WS-Security SwA Profile 1.1 (incorporating Approved Errata). MIME header canonicalization is discussed in Section 5.4.1 I am having trouble understanding the last sentence of step 11: 11.Quoted characters other than double-quote and backslash ("\") in quoted strings in structured MIME headers (e.g. Content-ID) MUST be unquoted. Double-quote and backslash ("\") characters in quoted strings in structured MIME headers MUST be character encoded [RFC2822]. What does "character encoded" mean in this context?? As an example, suppose we have the following MIME header value which is a quoted-string containing two escaped double-quotes of the form \" "My \"quote\" here" After canonicalization, what should this header value look like?? Thanks, Yassir.
