The changes appear focused on setting up a 2.7.0.1-RC1 build and adding corresponding vars and release-notes files, rather than modifying the HTTP validation rules described in Issue #126.
Changes:
- Added a new
scripts/vars.2.7.1.0-RC1vars file for the next release candidate. - Updated
pom.xmlto set the Maven artifact version to2.7.0.1-RC1. - Added new
esapi4java-core-2.7.1.0-RC1release notes and a README HTML comment claiming Issue #126 is addressed.

The project version has been updated to 2.7.0.1-RC1 here, but other newly added release artifacts (e.g., scripts/vars.2.7.1.0-RC1 and documentation/esapi4java-core-2.7.1.0-RC1-release-notes.txt) refer to 2.7.1.0-RC1. All version identifiers for this release candidate should be aligned to the same value to prevent publishing inconsistent artifacts.

The release notes header uses 2.7.1.0-RC1, but the Maven POM sets the version to 2.7.0.1-RC1 and the text here refers to a future formal 2.7.0.1 release. Please reconcile this so that the release notes filename, header, and build metadata all consistently use the same version number for this RC.

The dates 2025-30-09 and 2025-25-06 are not valid yyyy-mm-dd calendar dates (the middle field must be a valid month) and they do not match the 2.7.0.0 release notes, which list 2025-06-27 as the previous release date. Please correct these to valid dates and keep them in sync with the related vars.* file and prior release notes.

This HTML comment claims that Issue #126 is addressed, but this PR only updates release metadata (POM version, vars script, and release notes) and does not modify the HTTP validation rules described in Issue #126. To avoid confusion for maintainers and users, either include the actual fix for Issue #126 in this PR or adjust the PR title/description and this comment to reflect that this change is about release/versioning, not the HTTP validation rules.

The VERSION here (2.7.1.0-RC1) is inconsistent with the Maven artifact version (2.7.0.1-RC1 in pom.xml) and the text of the release notes, which talk about a future formal 2.7.0.1 release. These should all agree on a single version string to avoid publishing artifacts under mismatched coordinates and confusing downstream consumers.

The release date values 2025-30-09 and 2025-25-06 do not represent valid yyyy-mm-dd dates (the middle component must be a valid month in the range 01–12) and also differ from the 2.7.0.0 release notes, which list 2025-06-27 as the previous release date. Please correct these dates (and ensure they match the corresponding release notes file) so that automation and documentation relying on them are accurate.
