ISSUE-126: DNT-extension syntax includes characters not safe to embed in JSON

DNT-extension syntax includes characters not safe to embed in JSON

State:

CLOSED

Product:

Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)

Raised by:

Roy Fielding

Opened on:

2012-02-15

Description:

The definition of DNT-extension in the FPWD includes a very wide set of characters because we had not made any decisions about extensions. However, if the field-value is going to be echoed back to the client, as in the current proposal for the tracking status resource, then we should reduce the characters allowed to a safe set that can be easily embedded in a JSON string.
