Tom, Thanks very much. I simply missed that text in RCF 5424. However, a humble comment: the line SD-NAME = 1*32PRINTUSASCII ; except '=', SP, ']', %d34 (") is a little confusing on that front, since it seems to imply that SP is a member of PRINTUSASCII that must be excluded by special comment. I realize now it is just there for emphasis. Thanks again, James Remeika ________________________________________ From: t.petch [ietfc@btconnect.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 4:41 AM To: Remeika, James C.; syslog@ietf.org Subject: Re: [Syslog] Request for clarification of RTF 5424 Section 6.2.5(APP-NAME) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Remeika, James C." <jremeika@draper.com> To: <syslog@ietf.org> Sent: Monday, June 10, 2013 10:48 PM The APP-NAME field definition in RCF 5424 header says that "[i]t is a string without further semantics", and the ABNF definition of the field is 1*48PRINTUSASCII, which to my reading indicates that the space character is allowed. <tp> RFC5424 says to me " SP = %d32 PRINTUSASCII = %d33-126 " which says to me that the SP[ace character] is not allowed. Not sure why we have different readings. Tom Petch </tp> The same is true for the field PROCID, which follows APP-NAME: space characters seem to be allowed. How can this be allowed, if the values within the header are delimited by spaces. It seems like the two value sets for APP-NAME and PROCID would be indistinguishable: ++MESSAGE A++ APP-NAME: "cat dog" PROCID: "rabbit" ++MESSAGE B++ APP-NAME: "cat" PROCID: "dog rabbit" Thanks for your consideration, James Remeika ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- > _______________________________________________ > Syslog mailing list > Syslog@ietf.org > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/syslog >
