1315782 - Missing support for empty strings via DataChannels

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: WebRTC: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Nils Ohlmeier [:drno]]

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-data-channel-13#section-6.6 describes how to transfer an empty string over data channel despite the lack of support for empty messages in SCTP.

Once implemented the datachannel-emptystring.html test case from the webplatform tests needs to be enabled:

Mass change P2->P3 to align with new Mozilla triage process.

Comment 5

[Lennart Grahl [:lgrahl]]

I won't be able to do that in the foreseeable time. That being said, I don't think anyone is really missing this feature since it's easy to work around.
