Share the same general sentiment, but in the case of HTTP, many implementations are forgiving of conventional usage that may not match the specs; so I guess it's worth mentioning that this impl is strictly by-the-book.
- rickstanley 3y agoThis "book" would be the RFC?
- chlorion 3y agoYes, "by the book" is a very commonly used metaphor in English, even when no book is involved. It's roughly equal to saying that you are doing something strictly by the rules (and the rules don't have to be contained in a book or even exist in text form). Some uses would be like: "My boss insists on doing everything by the book".
