HTTP Header Wrapping

The HTTPWrapSpec lets you further encode characters that are not legal in HTTP traffic, the protocol used to pass cookies back and forth between the browser and the consumer. For example, some Shift-JIS characters will cause undesirable results if they are not further encoded by RFC-2047.

When you set HTTPWrapSpec, the data is first encoded according to the configured encoding specification, then the data is further encoded following the RFC-2047 specification.

HTTPWrapSpec is an optional attribute and can only accept the value RFC-2047 with no spaces, as follows:

HTTPWrapSpec="RFC-2047"
