Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Changing the SSE URL path — the check compares scheme/host/port of the endpoint event against the SSE URL. Other error fragments: - messageEndpoint must not contain path-traversal segments - messageEndpoint is not a valid URI: Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/java-sdk/c7fef64f92a99c8c758b1aa634f92868d7c2963b/mcp-core/src/main/java/io/modelcontextprotocol/client/transport/DefaultSseMessageEndpointValidator.java (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): Validator throws these messages for non-same-origin absolute endpoints and path traversal. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/java-sdk/c7fef64f92a99c8c758b1aa634f92868d7c2963b/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, unknown, documented_behavior): 1.1.3 / 1.0.2 (2026-05-21): SSE client transport message-endpoint validation backports. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/java-sdk/c7fef64f92a99c8c758b1aa634f92868d7c2963b/MIGRATION-2.0.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): 2.0: SSE transports (and supporting validator types) deprecated in favour of Streamable HTTP.
