My understanding is that since auth-scheme ends with a token and auth-param starts with a token, LWS is implied by the BNF: implied *LWS The grammar described by this specification is word-based. Except where noted otherwise, linear white space (LWS) can be included between any two adjacent words (token or quoted-string), and between adjacent words and separators, without changing the interpretation of a field. At least one delimiter (LWS and/or separators) MUST exist between any two tokens (for the definition of "token" below), since they would otherwise be interpreted as a single token. However, for consistency and readability reasons, it should probably be made explicit, like in the challenge case: challenge = auth-scheme 1*SP 1#auth-param Alex.
