This is in last call... The proposed text is at:
http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/hypermail/1997q3/0758.html
While editing it into the draft, I noticed a nit or two...
Foteos Macrides wording says:
[START INSERT]---------------------------------------------------------
A user agent SHOULD assume that all paths at or deeper than
the depth of the last symbolic element in the path field
of the Request-URI also are within the protection space
specified by the Basic realm value of the current challenge,
and MAY send the corresponding Authorization header with
requests for resources in that space without receipt of
another challenge from the server.
[END INSERT]-----------------------------------------------------------
I believe user agent should be client, rather than the more restrictive
user agent in this context. And the sentence was running on...
My revised text is:
"A client SHOULD assume that all paths at or deeper than the depth of the
last symbolic element in the path field of the Request-URI also are within
the protection space specified by the Basic realm value of the current
challenge. A client MAY send the corresponding Authorization header with
requests for resources in that space without receipt of another challenge
from the server."
