The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7692,
"Compression Extensions for WebSocket".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=7692&eid=4982

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Mark Straver <moonchild@palemoon.org>

Section: 7.1.1.1

Original Text
-------------
A server MAY include the "server_no_context_takeover" extension
parameter in an extension negotiation response even if the extension
negotiation offer being accepted by the extension negotiation
response didn't include the "server_no_context_takeover" extension
parameter.

Corrected Text
--------------
A server MAY include the "server_no_context_takeover" extension
parameter in an extension negotiation response even if the extension
negotiation offer being accepted by the extension negotiation
response didn't include the "server_no_context_takeover" extension
parameter.
A client SHOULD treat the "server_no_context_takeover" extension
parameter in an extension negotiation response as a hint with no
requirement to provide an implementation, and MUST NOT treat this
parameter, if included in the response, as an invalid configuration.

Notes
-----
It is currently possible for a client and a server to implement per spec and fail to make a connection.

There is no requirement for a client to implement this purely optional parameter, nor to understand this parameter if not implemented. If not supported, this would result in an invalid configuration. As a result, point 7 mandates that the socket connection MUST be closed.
This will only occur if a client has no implementation for this parameter and does not understand/accept the parameter, and the server sends an unsolicited "server_no_context_takeover" parameter in its response, which is allowed.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum 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  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
