Aspen Mesh features#

  • ASM-4500: Fixed an issue where Envoy responds with a 502 (Bad Gateway) error when a downstream or upstream header it receives includes a field whose value starts or ends with an ASCII whitespace character. Implemented the fix by disabling the following RFC 9113 field validation (for backward compatibility):

    “A field value MUST NOT start or end with an ASCII whitespace character (ASCII SP or HTAB, 0x20 or 0x09).”

  • ASM-4542: Fixed an issue where creating a duplicate virtual service that uses a different hostname capitalization causes Envoy to reject subsequent routing changes.

  • ASM-4545: In Diameter packets captured by Packet Inspector 1, changed the value of the hop limit in IPv6 IP headers from 0 to 255, as specified in the IDD.
