[jira] Created: (AXIS2-4037) Content-ID must not contain unquoted colon characters

Content-ID must not contain unquoted colon characters
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2-4037
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4037
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Valery Ushakov
            Priority: Minor


Asix2 generated MTOM messages use content ids of the form

  cid:1.urn:uuid:696D3CB9D9461274431221754142198@apache.org

when that content id is manifested in a MIME multipart message the resulting headers is

  Content-ID <1....@apache.org>

but that header violates RFC syntax for Content-ID.

RFC2045 (MIME, Part 1) defines Content-ID as

  "Content-ID" ":" msg-id

RFC2822 defines msg-id as

  msg-id          =       [CFWS] "<" id-left "@" id-right ">" [CFWS]

where no unquoted variant of if-left can NOT contain colon character (see RFC2822 for details and exact productions).

This is an interoperability problem for systems that try to parse Axis2 generated messages using MIME parsers that are not happy about those illegal colons.

Note that I'm not using axis2 myself, so unfortunately I cannot provide any further details, but it looks like axis2 has always been generating such content-ids.  I'm filing this to find out if this is indeed a bug in axis2 or if I'm misreading relevant standards and I need to fix the MIME parser I use.
