WWW-Authenticate header

January 10, 2014 07:14AM
Hi

RFC allows a server to respond with multiple WWW-Authenticate header (
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.47).

"User agents are advised to take special care in parsing the WWW-
Authenticate field value as it might contain more than one challenge, or if
more than one WWW-Authenticate header field is provided, the contents of a
challenge itself can contain a comma-separated list of authentication
parameters."

However nginx defines WWW-Authenticate header as an ngx_table_elt_t in
the ngx_http_headers_out_t struct as opposed to an ngx_array_t like other
allowed repeated value headers.

Is this a bug that I should file?

Regards
+Fasih
