The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6265, "HTTP State Management Mechanism". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6265&eid=4043 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Pierre Lepropre <plepropre@gmail.com> Section: 5.1.4 Original Text ------------- The user agent MUST use an algorithm equivalent to the following algorithm to compute the default-path of a cookie: Corrected Text -------------- The user agent MUST use an algorithm equivalent to the following algorithm to compute the default value for a cookie-path (and thereby matching the server-side semantics as defined in 4.1.2.4): Notes ----- The term "default-path" is not formally defined before and is quite misleading for the reader A. going through the section 5.1.4 as it's only used there once and not again until section 5.2.4 (once again) and 5.3 (once again). B. not being a native English speaker Furthermore, the true meaning of the "default-path" only appears sometime after at section 5.2.4 where it's finally bound altogether. Therefore, my personal recommendation would be to also replace the other occurrences of the "default-path" terms by "default cookie-path" Instructions: ------------- This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG) can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC6265 (draft-ietf-httpstate-cookie-23) -------------------------------------- Title : HTTP State Management Mechanism Publication Date : April 2011 Author(s) : A.
