A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the HyperText Transfer Protocol
Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0
Author(s) : T. Berners-Lee, R. Fielding, H. Nielsen
Filename : draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01.txt, .ps
Pages : 58

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol
with the lightness and speed necessary for distributed, collaborative,
hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, object-oriented
protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and
distributed object management systems, through extension of its request
methods (commands). A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data
representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data
being transferred.
HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative
since 1990. This specification reflects preferred usage of the protocol
referred to as "HTTP/1.0".

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01.txt".
Or
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01.ps".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
