CXF REST is not parsing the header value correctly if a comma is specified in a parameter value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-2462 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2462 Project: CXF Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2.3 Environment: Ubuntu 9.04, Compaq 6910p, 4GB memory Reporter: Jerry Chabot The RFC2616 and RFC822 states that a header is comprised of the following: header = [ header-value ] *( "," [ header-value ] ) header-value = name [ "=" [ value ] ] *( ";" [ param ] ) param = name [ "=" [ value ] ] name = token value = token | quoted-string token = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators> separators = "(" | ")" | "<" | ">" | "@" | "," | ";" | ":" | "\" | <"> | "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "=" | "{" | "}" | SP | HT quoted-string = ( <"> *(qdtext | quoted-pair ) <"> ) qdtext = <any TEXT except <">> The backslash character ("\") MAY be used as a single-character quoting mechanism only within quoted-string and comment constructs. quoted-pair = "\" CHAR Based on the above, this header should be valid xm-my-header : foo,bar,dogs="snoopy,bowzer";cat=garfield My REST service defines the method parameter this in its interface as @HeaderParam("xm-my-header") List<String> args I expected CXF to pass 3 elements into the service: [0] foo [1] bar [2] dogs="snoopy,bowzer"; cat=garfield But, this is what CXF passes into the service: [0] foo [1] bar [2] dogs="snoopy [3] bowzer";cat=garfield CFX is parsing the header value using the comma as a delimiter. But, it is ignoring the fact that the value may be within a quoted-string. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
