Subject:        [Sip-implementors] Question: Content-Length computation and binary
data bodies.


Hello!

This might appear to be a nitpicky question but is of importance to TCP
impementations interoperability:


Does the content-length computation include the CRLF at the end of a
message
body?

            Usually content length is the total number of bytes . it is
independent of what bytes
               represent be it CRLF, or  anything else to terminate lines.


Second, is the body of the message always encoded as text (for example
using
base-64 encoding) or can it be binary data?

            I think both are possible.

Thanks.

Ranga.
