Hi, here the next issue i would need a sponsor for. Also a very small one.
Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=7157360 Looked straight forward to me for the DELETE method, but from last issue i still have the HTTP/1.1 spec open. Here the relevant parts: >> 4.3 Message Body ... The presence of a message-body in a request is signaled by the inclusion of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header field in the request's message-headers. A message-body MUST NOT be included in a request if the specification of the request method (section 5.1.1) does not allow sending an entity-body in requests. A server SHOULD read and forward a message-body on any request; if the request method does not include defined semantics for an entity-body, then the message-body SHOULD be ignored when handling the request. ... 9.8 TRACE ... The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop- back of the request message. The final recipient of the request SHOULD reflect the message received back to the client as the entity-body of a 200 (OK) response. The final recipient is either the origin server or the first proxy or gateway to receive a Max-Forwards value of zero (0) in the request (see section 14.31). A TRACE request MUST NOT include an entity. ... >> To me 4.3 says: a server has to handle a request body (entity), no matter what request method is requested. 9.8 TRACE is the only request method where it says "MUST NOT include an entity". So the change i made is: allow request entity excluding for method TRACE, where it MUST NOT include one. Does sound right? This time the test was easy to write.
