Hello, The following I-D is a specification that adds SASL authentication to HTTP. It allows sharing security mechanisms with other protocols such as for email, and resolve security matters in transport-level software rather than in applications. I believe this offers dramatic benefits. An informal example run is presented on http://internetwide.org/blog/2018/11/15/somethings-cooking-4.html We are looking forward to hearing your opinions to this proposal. Thanks, Rick van Rein InternetWide.org ----- A new version of I-D, draft-vanrein-httpauth-sasl-03.txt has been successfully submitted by Rick van Rein and posted to the IETF repository. Name: draft-vanrein-httpauth-sasl Revision: 03 Title: HTTP Authentication with SASL Document date: 2020-01-20 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 12 URL: https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-vanrein-httpauth-sasl-03.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-vanrein-httpauth-sasl/ Htmlized: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vanrein-httpauth-sasl-03 Htmlized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-vanrein-httpauth-sasl Diff: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-vanrein-httpauth-sasl-03 Abstract: Most application-level protocols standardise their authentication exchanges under the SASL framework. HTTP has taken another course, and often ends up replicating the work to allow individual mechanisms. This specification adopts full SASL authentication into HTTP. The IETF Secretariat
