Hi folks,
I have just pushed another set of small updates to the specification.
In addition to assorted spelling and grammar fixes, and clarifying that
keywords MUST, SHOULD etc. should be interpreted against BCP14, there
are two substantive changes.
The first is that the specification is now explicit about what to do in
the event that a request including a query component receives a 3x
redirect status code in response: the redirect URL should be used as is,
and the client should not apply the original request's query to the
redirect URL. If you are the author of a client which *does* modify
redirect URLs in this way, you need to change this behaviour in order to
be spec compliant.
The second is that the specification now explicitly forbids the use of
Unicode byte order marks (BOMs) in either Gemini requests or Gemini
response headers. If your client or server includes a BOM in these
places, you should stop doing that. There will be a future update
dealing with the use of BOMs in Gemini response bodies as well, but the
changes I just pushed affect only response headers.
Chances are very good nobody actually needs to make any changes to code
as a result of these updates.
Cheers,
Solderpunk
