Re: [reSIProcate] Bug in DateCategory::parse()


Yes you are right. I had only looked section 20.17 of the rfc, and not at 25.1 where the format is actually specified. My mistake!

That's my reading of it also. Per spec, the header that is causing it to throw an exception is malformed.

That said, Postel's Maxim would certainly support the idea of changing the code so that it parses headers without the "wkday" portion. Without looking at the parsing code specific to the date header field, I would guess that doing so should be a relatively trivial effort.

My read of RFC3261 has the week day mandatory.

rfc1123 <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1123.html>-date = wkday "," SP date1 SP time SP "GMT"

    Hi,
    There appears to be a bug in DateCategory::parse().
    As far as I can tell, it assumes that the date it is given will
    always be in
    the form 'Mon, 04 Nov 2002 17:34:15 GMT'. However, I think this is
    incorrect. According to RFC822, the day part is optional. When
    resip is
    given a date in the form '04 Nov 2002 17:34:15 GMT', without the
    day part,
    it fails with an exception of 'parsebuffer.cxx:78, Parse failed
    skipped over
    eof in context: Date'.

    Can someone verify this?

    Thanks
