The IESG has received a request from the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Bis WG (httpbis) to consider the following document: - 'Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Message Syntax and Routing' <draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-24.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-11-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information systems. HTTP has been in use by the World Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. This document provides an overview of HTTP architecture and its associated terminology, defines the "http" and "https" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) schemes, defines the HTTP/1.1 message syntax and parsing requirements, and describes general security concerns for implementations. Note that this document is part of a set, which should be reviewed together: * draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging * draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics * draft-ietf-httpbis-p4-conditional * draft-ietf-httpbis-p5-range * draft-ietf-httpbis-p6-cache * draft-ietf-httpbis-p7-auth * draft-ietf-httpbis-method-registrations * draft-ietf-httpbis-authscheme-registrations The following normative references should be noted as "downward references": RFC 1950, "ZLIB Compressed Data Format Specification version 3.3" RFC 1951, "DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification version 1.3" RFC 1952, "GZIP file format specification version 4.3" Welch, T., "A Technique for High Performance Data Compression" The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging/ Once IESG evaluation begins, IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
