[hybi] Fwd: RFC 6455 - conflicting statements

["Nataraju A.B" <[e-mail]>]

Hi All,

Following is the snippet from the RFC6455.

<RFC6455>

2.  Conformance Requirements

   All diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-
   normative, as are all sections explicitly marked non-normative.
   *Everything *else in this specification is normative.


1.9.  Subprotocols Using the WebSocket Protocol

   _This section is non-normative._

   The client can request that the server use a specific subprotocol by
   including the |Sec-WebSocket-Protocol| field in its handshake.  If it
   is specified, the server needs to include the same field and one of
   the selected subprotocol values in its response for the connection to
   be established.


3.  WebSocket URIs

   This specification defines two URI schemes, using the ABNF syntax
   defined in RFC 5234 [RFC5234], and terminology and ABNF productions
   defined by the URI specification RFC 3986 [RFC3986].

          ws-URI = "ws:" "//" host [ ":" port ] path [ "?" query ]
          wss-URI = "wss:" "//" host [ ":" port ] path [ "?" query ]

          host = <host, defined in [RFC3986], Section 3.2.2>
          port = <port, defined in [RFC3986], Section 3.2.3>
          path = <path-abempty, defined in [RFC3986], Section 3.3>
          query = <query, defined in [RFC3986], Section 3.4>

</RFC6455>

*Comment*: According to statement in sec 2, section 3 - WebSocket URIs (for
example) is normative. But I don't think that it correct. Section 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8 must also be changed as non-normative text by inserting the text "_This
section is non-normative._".

Otherwise, Am I missing something here ???

Thanks,
Nataraju A.B.
