I'd like to update the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Digest Algorithm Values registry [1] created by RFC3230. Current values are MD5, SHA, UNIXsum, UNIXcksum. I'd like to add SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. My metalinkhttp ID [2] lists these in the IANA considerations section. I'd also like to find out about current support of Instance Digests on the client & server side. Should I keep these registrations in the metalinkhttp ID, or separate them [attached]? They're not specifically tied to metalinkhttp. Other questions... Current registry: MD5 lists both RFC1521 and RFC20456 for base64 encoding. Should this draft update it to refer to just one? Current registry: SHA link ( http://csrc.nist.gov/fips/fip180-1.txt ) is no longer valid. Should this draft update it? If we update SHA in the registry, should this draft refer to SHS or RFC3174? -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
