CMSD header compliance/validator reference example

[kevleyski]

Would be good to include a reference that validates the CMSD data

Spec is moving around a bit, but an online validator and maybe some open source code would be good as a reference

As a Rust engineer more than happy to contribute some super slim parser/validator library (libcmsd crate maybe)

Though what in reality is useful for testing?

Something you can proxy pass to via nginx/Apache for example?
Web site form copy and paste Charlse proxy data maybe at it picks out the issues
Wireshark module, etc...

I think a simple page based script might be useful, with two modes of operation:

1. You enter a URL. The test page makes a GET request and then parses and validate any CMSD headers it receives in the response.
2. You have a form field in which someone can paste a set of headers, such as are obtained by the browser network panels, or charles proxy HAR etc. The script would then parse and validate the received CMSD information.

@kevleyski - checking in on this. Any progress/interest on a validation concept, now that spec is in TWG review?

Ah yes, I started something, but my original plan was a bit of open source Rust code that worked as a library that could be included in intermediary servers as well as validators I’ll get a sponsor and try and finish it off as it will be useful in internal projects too Will get back to you soon Kev On 18 Oct 2022, at 4:40 am, Will Law ***@***.***> wrote:  @kevleyski<https://github.com/kevleyski> - checking in on this.
