Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-985) The HTTP Specification document referenced in the OData Protocol Spec has been obsoleted
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-985?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=63789#comment-63789 ]
Martin Zurmuehl edited comment on ODATA-985 at 10/13/16 3:48 PM:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RFC2616 is not mentioned in the current documents any more. We have substituted RFC2616 by [RFC7240] [RFC7230] [RFC7231] [RFC7232] already in the past.
But we still use the also obsolete RFC2617 (“HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication) in the protocol spec.
Documents updating RFC 2617 are
"Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Authentication" ([RFC7235], defining the authentication framework),
"The 'Basic' HTTP Authentication Scheme" ([RFC7617] updating the definition of the
"Basic" authentication scheme),
"HTTP Digest Access Authentication" ([RFC7616], updating
the definition of the "Digest" authentication scheme), and
"HTTP Authentication-Info and Proxy-Authentication-Info Response Header
Fields" ([RFC7615]).
Taken together, these four documents obsolete RFC2617.
We have 3 references to RFC2617 in the document; all 3 are pointing to the "basic authentication".
--> We should substitute RFC2617 by [RFC7617] Reschke, J., "The 'Basic' HTTP Authentication Scheme", RFC 7617, September 2015. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7617.txt
There are no substantive changes from our perspective; the RFC7617 states:
"Changes from RFC 2617
The scheme definition has been rewritten to be consistent with newer
specifications such as [RFC7235].
The new authentication parameter 'charset' has been added. It is
purely advisory, so existing implementations do not need to change,
unless they want to take advantage of the additional information that
previously wasn't available.
"
I updated the proposal accordingly.
