Re: [Tools-discuss] Re: Bug in the Perl ABNF parser?



Given that it's the only tool with source available, reinserting it seems like a reasonable option... I'd forgotten that it was hosted on ops.ietf.org, even...

Hi again,

Right, so I just removed it, before going on to the next message on
the list ,;-)

Harald, would you like me to re-insert the link, with the warning
suggested by Stephane?

Regards,

Tools.ietf.org people, can you remove the link from your site?

I suggest instead to add a warning (same thing for the ABNF validator). Here is my suggested wording for http://tools.ietf.org/inventory/verif-tools:

      <li><a href="http://www.ops.ietf.org/abnf/";><b> Harald
      Alvestrand's perl ABNF parser</b></a> (<em>Warning:</em> This
