Escape multipart type parameter value in Content-Type header
## Summary
Multipart responses do not quote/escape the value of their type
parameter (the subtype) even though it always contains at least one
special character (the slash "/"), which confuses standard-compliant
HTTP clients.
## Details
The Content-Type header in HTTP is in RFC 7231, Section 3.1.1.5:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-3.1.1.5
The section defers to the media type section (3.1.1.1) for the syntax of
the media type:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-3.1.1.1
This states that a parameter value can be quoted:
parameter = token "=" ( token / quoted-string )
A parameter value that matches the token production can be transmitted
either as a token or within a quoted-string. The quoted and unquoted
values are equivalent.
Tokens are defined in RFC 7230, Section 3.2.6 (via RFC 7231, appendix
C):
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#appendix-C
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.2.6
Here we observe that tokens cannot contain a slash "/" character:
token = 1*tchar
tchar = "!" / "#" / "$" / "%" / "&" / "'" / "*"
/ "+" / "-" / "." / "^" / "_" / "`" / "|" / "~"
/ DIGIT / ALPHA
; any VCHAR, except delimiters
Delimiters are chosen from the set of US-ASCII visual characters not
allowed in a token (DQUOTE and "(),/:;<=>?@[\]{}").
However, the current implementation does not quote/escape the value of
the type parameter:
multipart/related; type=application/dicom
Instead, it should be:
multipart/related; type="application/dicom"
All of this also seems to apply to the MIME Content-Type header
definition, even though it is a little different:
