Status: Held for Document Update (1)

RFC 6690, "Constrained RESTful Environments (CoRE) Link Format", August 2012

Source of RFC: core (wit)

Errata ID: 3751
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Editorial
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Reported By: Peter A. Bigot

Section 2 says:

   URI-Reference  = <defined in [RFC3986]>
 

It should say:

   URI-reference  = <defined in [RFC3986]>
 

Notes:

Although RFC5234 does specify that rule names are case-insensitive, URI-reference is "misspelled" URI-Reference throughout ABNF rules in section 2. It is correct in the remainder of the text.

----- Verifier notes -----
An unimportant typo that will not cause confusion for anyone.
We can change it if/when the document is updated.

RFC 6690, "Constrained RESTful Environments (CoRE) Link Format", August 2012

Source of RFC: core (wit)

Errata ID: 5254
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Section 2 says:

relation-types = relation-type
                   / DQUOTE relation-type *( 1*SP relation-type ) DQUOTE

It should say:

relation-types = reg-rel-type
               / DQUOTE relation-type *( 1*SP relation-type ) DQUOTE

Notes:

As defined originally "relation-types" may consist of a "URI". RFC 3986 defines URI to allow semi-colons in various places. For example, "http://;" seems to be a valid URI. Unfortunately, that makes parsing a link-param list ambiguous since its elements are separated by semicolons.

The proposed fix to to allow "ext-rel-type" (i.e., "URI") to appear only inside a quoted relation-type list.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
Although identifying a valid concern, this errata does not aim to clarify the original intent, but makes changes to the original RFC that were not agreed upon. The change, therefore, if it is to be applied needs to be achieved through a consensus document.
