    Subject: Manifest Format specification

Hello,

I got all of your email addresses off the 'Manifest Format' document at
<http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/jar/manifest.html>.

I write a tool that parses jar files for the mac.

Your specification for the manifest file doesn't match the output of the
jar tool in jdk 1.1.3.

The specs say that the algorithm names (the "Digest-Algorithms" value) are
a comma separated list, and in a manifest file created by the jar tool,
they are separated by a space.

I wrote my tool to handle either, and it creates manifest files that are
space separated.

Is the spec correct?

Thanks for your time.
