This formatter produces a textual representation of attribute/value pairs. It
comforms to the generic grammar and formatting rules outlined in the
Section 2.1
and
Section 3.6
of RFC 2616
2.1 Augmented BNF
Many HTTP/1.1 header field values consist of words separated by LWS or special
characters. These special characters MUST be in a quoted string to be used within
a parameter value (as defined in section 3.6).
token = 1*
separators = "(" | ")" | "<" | ">" | "@"
| "," | ";" | ":" | "\" | <">
| "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "="
| "{" | "}" | SP | HT
A string of text is parsed as a single word if it is quoted using double-quote marks.
quoted-string = ( <"> *(qdtext | quoted-pair ) <"> )
qdtext = >
The backslash character ("\") MAY be used as a single-character quoting mechanism only
within quoted-string and comment constructs.
quoted-pair = "\" CHAR
3.6 Transfer Codings
Parameters are in the form of attribute/value pairs.
parameter = attribute "=" value
attribute = token
value = token | quoted-string
