Message-ID: <1016E2A3-C678-46FA-B80E-F9D86FDEA213@osfda.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <louibr$8gc$1@ger.gmane.org>

Multiple parameters is currently undefined as far as I can tell.  Should the client take the first, last, or ignore it completely if there are multiple of any parameter?  I think that’s the point of the parameter pollution discussion, which will define it one way or the other.

I’m only familiar with the Electrum implementation, which is currently checking for any duplicate parameters and treating the entire URI as invalid if duplicate parameters exist (following the parameter pollution suggestions).
