Rev04 is available in the usual place (off the issues list page). Thank you all for your help. Jim Gettys HTTP/1.1 editor. Abstract The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods. 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 defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1", and is an update to RFC2068 [33]. At the time of submission, there were no remaining outstanding issues after a working group last call. The HTTP/1.1 issues list can be found at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/Issues/. Linked from this page are also Postscript and Microsoft Word versions (with versions with change bars) of this document which are easier to review than this text document. -- Jim Gettys Digital Industry Standards and Consortia Compaq Computer Corporation Visting Scientist, World Wide Web Consortium, M.I.T. http://www.w3.org/People/Gettys/ jg@w3.org, jg@pa.dec.com
