| * The following rules are used throughout this specification to |
| * describe basic parsing constructs. |
| * The US-ASCII coded character set is defined by ANSI X3.4-1986. |
| * </p> |
| * <pre> |
| * OCTET = <any 8-bit sequence of data> |
| * CHAR = <any US-ASCII character (octets 0 - 127)> |
| * UPALPHA = <any US-ASCII uppercase letter "A".."Z"> |
| * LOALPHA = <any US-ASCII lowercase letter "a".."z"> |
| * ALPHA = UPALPHA | LOALPHA |
| * DIGIT = <any US-ASCII digit "0".."9"> |
| * CTL = <any US-ASCII control character |
| * (octets 0 - 31) and DEL (127)> |
| * CR = <US-ASCII CR, carriage return (13)> |
| * LF = <US-ASCII LF, linefeed (10)> |
| * SP = <US-ASCII SP, space (32)> |
| * HT = <US-ASCII HT, horizontal-tab (9)> |
| * <"> = <US-ASCII double-quote mark (34)> |
| * </pre> |
| * <p> |
| * 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). |
| * <p> |
| * <pre> |
| * token = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators> |
| * separators = "(" | ")" | "<" | ">" | "@" |
| * | "," | ";" | ":" | "\" | <"> |
| * | "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "=" |
| * | "{" | "}" | SP | HT |

| * <p> |
| * A string of text is parsed as a single word if it is quoted using |
| * double-quote marks. |
| * </p> |
| * <pre> |
| * quoted-string = ( <"> *(qdtext | quoted-pair ) <"> ) |
| * qdtext = <any TEXT except <">> |
