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 Date : 08/07/1995 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 available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01.txt". Or "get draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01.ps". A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01.txt Internet-Drafts directories are located at: o Africa Address: ftp.is.co.za (196.4.160.8) o Europe Address: nic.nordu.net (192.36.148.17) Address: ftp.nis.garr.it (192.12.192.10) o Pacific Rim Address: munnari.oz.au (128.250.1.21) o US East Coast Address: ds.internic.net (198.49.45.10) o US West Coast Address: ftp.isi.edu (128.9.0.32) 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. --NextPart Content-Type: Multipart/Alternative; Boundary="OtherAccess" --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; access-type="mail-server"; server="mailserv@ds.internic.net" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <19950807134042.I-D@CNRI.Reston.VA.US> ENCODING mime FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01.txt --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; name="draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01.txt"; site="ds.internic.net"; access-type="anon-ftp"; directory="internet-drafts" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <19950807134042.I-D@CNRI.Reston.VA.US> --OtherAccess-- --NextPart--
