Hi TLSWG, I'm working on implementing the TLS Flags extension <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-tls-tlsflags-12>, and I just wanted to clarify a potential ambiguity in the spec.
In Section 2 the spec says: Such documents will have to define which bit to set to show support, and the order of the bits within the bit string shall be enumerated in network order: bit zero is the high-order bit of the first octet as the flags field is transmitted. And also gives the example for encoding bit zero: For example, if we want to encode only flag number zero, the FlagExtension field will be 1 octet long, that is encoded as follows: 00000001 In which it seems that the low-order bit of the first octet represents zero. I have no preference either way, but when transmitted on the wire, should flag 0 be transmitted as 0x01 or 0x80? Regards, Jonathan
