A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Transport Layer Security Working Group of
the IETF.

	Title		: Upgrading to TLS Within HTTP/1.1
	Author(s)	: R. Khare, S. Lawrence
	Filename	: draft-ietf-tls-http-upgrade-01.txt
	Pages		: 12
	Date		: 23-Jun-99
	
This memo proposes a mechanism to upgrade HTTP/1.1 connections to use
Transport Layer Security (TLS). Using an Upgrade: TLS/x.y request
header would allow unsecured and secured traffic to share the same
port (in this case, 80). A companion document describes the current
practice of using a separate port for HTTP over TLS,
<draft-ietf-tls-https-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-ietf-tls-http-upgrade-01.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in

or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv at ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tls-http-upgrade-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.
