Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (MQTT-385) Simple clients skipping properties
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/MQTT-385?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=65151#comment-65151 ] Andrew Banks commented on MQTT-385: ----------------------------------- I've deleted the following comments from the WD11 specification and added them here instead. Current specification line 1233 on: A Client MAY process the packet without validating the Properties by skipping over the number of bytes specified by Property Length. A Client that does not validate the Properties MUST NOT make use of any Property it has not validated. A Server MUST validate all Properties in a MQTT Control Packet. Peter Niblett : “checking” isn’t defined. I guess it is referring to the previous paragraph. Ken Borgendale: I change the word to validate. I think both check and validate are common enough English words to not require further definition Peter Niblett;There is a bit of ambiguity here. Is a client permitted to validate only some of the properties? Or is it a binary choice between validating all the properties or skipping (and ignoring) them all ? > Simple clients skipping properties > ---------------------------------- > > Key: MQTT-385 > URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/MQTT-385 > Project: OASIS Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: edits > Affects Versions: 5, wd10 > Reporter: Brian Raymor > Assignee: Ken Borgendale > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 5 > > > What is the rationale for this exemption -and- how is it interoperable? > 757 A Client MAY process the Packet without checking the Properties by skipping over the number of bytes > 758 specified by Property Length.
