Marco Ferrer commented on THRIFT-5541:
--------------------------------------
To quote something mentioned in our internal discussions.
"MUST NOTs are just as important as MUSTs in a specification."
> Header spec is ambiguous about key format
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-5541
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5541
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Reporter: Marco Ferrer
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current header specification does not specify what is considered a valid
> format for keys. Looking at the most common networking protocols (http/http2)
> we see specifics as to what keys characters are allowed and their formatting.
> There is no equivalent definition in thrift.
> The thrift header spec should clarify things like case sensitivity, behavior
> for trailing whitespace and non-ascii characters.
