Forgive the version number reset; this is really the latest version. I've tried to respond to most of the comments I've gotten, but might have missed something, so I'd appreciate your review. The intent is to ask the IETF to publish this as an Informational RFC (even though it obsoletes previous specifications). ============================================================ A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : The 'text/html' Media Type Author(s) : D. Connolly, L. Masinter Filename : draft-connolly-text-html-01.txt Pages : 6 Date : 13-Oct-99 This document summarizes the history of HTML development, and defines the 'text/html' MIME type by pointing to the relevant W3C recommendations, It is intended to obsolete the previous IETF documents defining HTML, including RFC 1866, RFC 1867, RFC 1980, RFC 1942 and RFC 2070. This document was prepared at the request of the W3C HTML working group. Please send comments to www-html@w3.org, a public mailing list with archive at <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/>. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-connolly-text-html-01.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-connolly-text-html-01.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-connolly-text-html-01.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.
