Re: [Errata Rejected] RFC7234 (4334)

[Tony Hansen <[e-mail]>]

I have a feeling that this is not a problem with the document, but 
instead with the tooling.

That is, the missing piece of information is which HTML-ized version of 
the document was Antonio Vera looking at?

If he was looking at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7234, then yup, it's 
pointing at the wrong document. The htmlizer tool on tools.ietf.org 
picked up the "Section ..." text and made that into a link to the 
section within the current document.

However, if he was looking at the files in github, he would have seen a 
link to the proper document.


So I think there is nothing that needs to be done here by anyone in the 
http group. But it might be worth poking Henrik to take a look at the 
rfcmarkup tool to see if an improvement can be made.

OR, anyone else can take a look at the rfcmarkup code and see if they 
can come up with a code fix. I'm sure Henrik would love to buy it back.
