Subject: docs: Fix protocol version 3.2 message format of CancelRequest
X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d3ba50db48e66be8804b9edf093b0f921d625425;p=postgresql.git

docs: Fix protocol version 3.2 message format of CancelRequest

Since protocol version 3.2 the CancelRequest does not have a fixed size
length anymore. The protocol docs still listed the length field to be a
constant number though. This fixes that.
