A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Problem Statement, Requirements, and Solution Outline
Author(s) : H. Nielsen, M. Spreitzer, B. Janssen, J. Gettys
Filename : draft-frystyk-httpng-overview-00.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 18-Nov-98
This document gives the authors' opinion of a rough outline of (1) the
problems to be addressed by the proposed IETF HTTP-NG Working Group;
(2) the requirements on the solution; and (3) the architecture of the
solution. It draws heavily on contributions from the whole Protocol
Design Group of the W3C HTTP-NG Activity. A suite of problems should
be addressed, summarized as observing that the World Wide Web's
tremendous success has created some strains on the Internet, its
users, and its application developers. The requirements on the
solution include modularity, extensibility, scalability, and
efficiency. The proposed solution is to factor HTTP, the Web's central
protocol, into three layers and look into performance improvements in
the lower two of those resultant layers.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-frystyk-httpng-overview-00.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-frystyk-httpng-overview-00.txt
Internet-Drafts directories are located at:

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-frystyk-httpng-overview-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
