The HTTP-WG of the IETF has decided to split the draft 01 document into a "Best Current Practice" HTTP/1.0 and a standards-track HTTP/1.1. The following announcement reflects the availability of the initial BCP draft. Title : Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0 Author(s) : T. Berners-Lee, R. Fielding, H. Frystyk Filename : draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-02.txt, .ps Pages : 45 Date : 08/13/1995 The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol with the lightness and speed necessary for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, object-oriented protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods (commands). A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred. HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. This specification reflects common usage of the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.0". Please send comments on the draft to the HTTP-WG at the mailing list address <http-wg@cuckoo.hpl.hp.com>. A hypertext archive of the mailing list is at <http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/hypermail/>. Draft 02 is available at the usual places (below). It is available in plain text, HTML, and PostScript (w/changebars), and a text diff is also available (generated by the "diff -b -c1 draft01 draft02" command). http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/ ftp://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/ and http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Protocols/Overview.html The text and PostScript formats are also available from any of the Internet-Draft archives listed below.
