The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7230,
"Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Message Syntax and Routing".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=7230&eid=4683

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Daurnimator <quae@daurnimator.com>

Section: 4

Original Text
-------------


Corrected Text
--------------
The name part of a transfer-parameter is case insensitive and MUST not
be "q" (as this would be ambiguous when used as part of the TE header).

Notes
-----
Nothing is said about how to handle transfer-parameters.
Notably, nothing is said about the case sensitivity of the parameter key.

This results in a conflict with the TE header: if you see a "q" token,
you cannot know if it is a transfer-parameter vs a t-ranking.

It *is* noted that the "q" token is case insensitive in section 4.3.
> When multiple transfer codings are acceptable, the client MAY rank
> the codings by preference using a case-insensitive "q" parameter
