[SIPForum-discussion] help:Header Field Format?

[雨 陈]

Hi, all
  Now , I meet a big problem in the SIP message parsing―the structure of header field:
   
  1.  field-name :  field-value
  on either side of the colon(":"), the arbitrary amount of whitespace is unlimited in theory. So what does the “whitespace” mean? a SP or HTAB?
   
  2. a folding field-value
     If the SIP header field values be folded onto multiple lines. 
  For instance,

   Subject: This is a test    =>     Subject: This

                                        is a test

 

So on the two lines, which kind of character will follow the word “This" and "test"as an end of each line?

Is there still a CRLF? before interpreting the field value of “Subject”, should I use a single SP instead of  all the special spaces between “This” and “is”?

 

Moreover, is there any possible that these following fields to be split into a multiple line representation? 

          Call-ID, CSeq, From, Context-Type
   
  Merry Christmas!
