Here's proposed text for the definition of "Effective Request URI", with questions inlined: -- 4.3. Effective Request URI The term "Effective Request URI" is introduced in order to abstract away the various syntactical forms a request can take. If the request-target is an absolute-URI, then the Effective Request URI is the request-target. [[effrequri-scheme: What about the case where the given scheme name and the transport disagree? --jre]] If the request-target uses the path-absolute (plus optional query) syntax, then the Effective Request URI is constructed by concatenating o the scheme name: "http" if the request was received over an insecure TCP connection, or "https" when received over SSK/ TLS-secured TCP connection, [[effrequri-othertransports: Need to mention other future transports here? --jre]] o the character sequence "://", o the host name, as determined by the rules in Section 4.2, [[effrequri-nohost: How do we deal with undefined host names? --jre]] and o the request-target obtained from the Request-Line. Otherwise, when request-target is an asterisk ("*") or uses the authority form, the Effective Request URI is undefined. Example: the Effective Request URI for the message GET /pub/WWW/TheProject.html HTTP/1.1 Host: www.example.org (received over an insecure TCP connection) is "http", plus "://", plus the host name "www.example.org", plus the request-target "/pub/ WWW/TheProject.html", thus "http://www.example.org/pub/WWW/TheProject.html". [[effrequri-compare: Need to declare comparison? Can we re-use the comparison defined in Section 2.6.3? --jre]] -- (see <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/attachment/ticket/196/i196.diff>). Feedback appreciated, Julian
