Expert Review of URLAUTH

From: Eric Burger <eburger@brooktrout.com> · Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2004 21:35:04 -0500

The lemonade work group in the IETF has produced the following document.  We
would appreciate expert review of same.

Yes, it is called "URLAUTH" for ease of pronunciation purposes; "URIAUTH"
would be a mouthful and sounds to much like urine.

Please post comments to the lemonade list at lemonade@ietf.org.  List
information is at <https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lemonade>.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Enhancements to Internet email to support
diverse service environments Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) - URLAUTH
Extension
	Author(s)	: M. Crispin
	Filename	: draft-ietf-lemonade-urlauth-05.txt
	Pages		: 5
	Date		: 2004-12-7

This document describes the URLAUTH extension to the Internet
    Message Access Protocol (IMAP) (RFC 3501) and the IMAP URL Scheme
    (IMAPURL) (RFC 2192).  This extension provides a means by which an
    IMAP client can use URLs carrying authorization to access limited
    message data on the IMAP server.

    An IMAP server which supports this extension indicates this with a
    capability name of "URLAUTH".

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-lemonade-urlauth-05.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.
