The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Digest Fields' (draft-ietf-httpbis-digest-headers-13.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the HTTP Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Murray Kucherawy and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-digest-headers/ Technical Summary This document defines HTTP fields that support integrity digests. The Content-Digest field can be used for the integrity of HTTP message content. The Repr-Digest field can be used for the integrity of HTTP representations. Want-Content-Digest and Want-Repr-Digest can be used to indicate a sender's interest and preferences for receiving the respective Integrity fields. This document obsoletes RFC 3230 and the Digest and Want-Digest HTTP fields. Working Group Summary This document enjoyed broad discussion and two Working Group Last Calls. There were some philosophical differences about how backwards-compatible we should be, but we came to consensus. Document Quality There are some early implementations underway, and more have expressed interest. The document has had involvement from security folks, but might benefit from the SecDir review as well. HTTP examples have been validated. Personnel Mark Nottingham is the Document Shepherd. Francesca Palombini is the Responsible Area Director.
