The following errata report has been held for document update for RFC7030, "Enrollment over Secure Transport". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5108 -------------------------------------- Status: Held for Document Update Type: Technical Reported by: Sean Turner <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2017-09-07 Held by: Roman Danyliw (IESG) Section: 4.2.3, 4.4.2 Original Text ------------- OLD from s.4.2.3: If the content-type is not set, the response data MUST be a plaintext human-readable error message containing explanatory information describing why the request was rejected (for example, indicating that CSR attributes are incomplete). OLD from s4.4.2: If the content-type is not set, the response data MUST be a plaintext human-readable error message. Corrected Text -------------- NEW for s4.2.3: If the content-type is not set, the response data must be a plaintext human-readable error message containing explanatory information describing why the request was rejected (for example, indicating that CSR attributes are incomplete). Servers MAY use the "text/plain” content-type [RFC2046] for human-readable errors. NEW for s4.4.2: If the content-type is not set, the response data must be a plaintext human-readable error message. Servers MAY use the "text/plain” content-type [RFC2046] for human-readable errors. Notes ----- The current text is somewhat unclear as to what content-type needs to be used for the human-readable error. There are many human-readable content-types, but "text/plain" seems to be the most sensible. Note that the MUST was reduced to a must because no content-type is specified. -------------------------------------- RFC7030 (draft-ietf-pkix-est-09) -------------------------------------- Title : Enrollment over Secure Transport Publication Date : October 2013 Author(s) : M.
