[NETCONF-539] Incorect handling of base:1.1 capability when namespaces are used

Fri, 27 Apr 2018 04:19:35 +0000

I tried to use ncclient to connect netconf server.
It sends following hello message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<nc:hello xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"><nc:capabilities>
[...]
<nc:capability>urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.0</nc:capability>
<nc:capability>urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.1</nc:capability>
[...]
</nc:capabilities></nc:hello>

ODL Netconf also advertises base:1.1 capability, so
ncclient expects chunked framing.

But ODL Netconf fails to detect base:1.1 capability due to used namespace prefixes.
As a result nnclient reports timeout.
