This is the latest compromise within the IPNG working group (which defined the syntax for IPv6 addresses) and the attempt to embed IPv6 addresses within URLs. Note that it proposes amending the URI draft standard to allow "[]" in a URL for the reserved purpose of enclosing an IPv6 URL. -----Original Message----- From: nsyracus@cnri.reston.va.us [mailto:nsyracus@cnri.reston.va.us] On Behalf Of Internet-Drafts@ietf.org Sent: Friday, September 17, 1999 5:03 AM To: IETF-Announce:; Cc: ipng@sunroof.eng.sun.com Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ipngwg-url-literal-03.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. Title : Preferred Format for Literal IPv6 Addresses in URL's Author(s) : B. Hinden, B. Carpenter, L. Masinter Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-url-literal-03.txt Pages : 4 Date : 16-Sep-99 This document defines the preferred format for literal IPv6 Addresses in URL's for implementation in World Wide Web browsers. This format has been implemented in the IPv6 versions of several widely deployed browsers including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and Lynx. It is also intended to be used in the IPv6 version of the service location protocol. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-url-literal-03.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-ipngwg-url-literal-03.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-url-literal-03.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
