Fwd: (Re) submission of draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-05.txt

The HTTP/1.1 draft is in. (as well as the authentication draft).

These should issue in the next day or two.

In the meanwhile, you can get a (text only, this instant; the other versions 
(Word, Postscript) to follow in the next day or two) copy of the spec 
from:

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.1/draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-05.txt

I think you'll find the plaintext version much cleaner this revision
than previous revisions.

Cynthia: this is the correct document to publish.  Sorry for the snafu;
last minute editing hangup.  Please notify the http working
group (http-wg@hplb.hpl.hp.com).

The postscript version will be in a subsequent message.

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 beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and
   distributed object management systems, through extension of its
   request methods, error codes and headers [47]. 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 RFC 2068 [33].

   At the time of submission, there were no known outstanding issues
   with this document. 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.
