Frederik Zimmer commented on OLINGO-1046:
-----------------------------------------

But what does "bad" mean? They are part of the ABNF so a filter option with the 
BWS is a valid filter option. Maybe they should have called them deprecated.

rfc7230 has a definition of BWS:
"The BWS rule is used where the grammar allows optional whitespace only for 
historical reasons.  A sender MUST NOT generate BWS in messages. A recipient 
MUST parse for such bad whitespace and remove it before interpreting the 
protocol element."

So you MUST be able to parse them to be spec conform.

> Whitespaces in functions not allowed

> Whitespaces before/after comma/parenthesis in functions are allowed by the 
> ABNF but Olingo is unable to parse them.
> This would result in an error (inserted space after comma in Testcase of 
> TestFullResourcePath):
> startswith(PropertyCompAllPrim/PropertyString, 'Wall')
> ABNF example:
> startsWithMethodCallExpr = 'startswith' OPEN BWS commonExpr BWS COMMA BWS 
> commonExpr BWS CLOSE
> BWS =  *( SP / HTAB / "%20" / "%09" )  ; "bad" whitespace
