Hi folks, Friday (30 March 2001)
I've just sent a new version of 'IPP: IPP URL Scheme' to the
Internet-Drafts editor and posted a copy on the PWG server in the
directory 'ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_URL/' in the files:
draft-ietf-ipp-url-scheme-03.pdf (PDF w/ line numbers of '.txt')
draft-ietf-ipp-url-scheme-03.txt (2 April 2001)
The substance of this document is in five pages, starting at page 6 (see
the change log below). Carl-Uno Manros (IETF IPP WG chair) plans to
send this version to our IETF Applications Area Directors for IETF 'last
call' and publication as a Proposed Standard RFC.
Comments?
Cheers,

Abstract
This document is intended for use in registering the "ipp" URL scheme
with IANA and fully conforms to the requirements in [RFC-2717]. This
document defines the "ipp" URL (Uniform Resource Locator) scheme for
specifying the location of an IPP Printer, IPP Job, or other IPP
object (defined in some future version of IPP) which implements the
IPP/1.1 Model [RFC-2911] and the IPP/1.1 Protocol encoding over HTTP
[RFC-2910] or any later version of IPP. The intended usage of the
"ipp" URL scheme is COMMON. The IPP URL scheme defined in this
document is based on the ABNF for the HTTP URL scheme defined in
HTTP/1.1 [RFC-2616], which is derived from the URI Generic Syntax
[RFC-2396] and further updated by [RFC-2732] and [RFC-2373] (for IPv6
addresses in URLs). An IPP URL is transformed into an HTTP URL
according to the rules specified in section 5 of the IPP/1.1 Protocol
[RFC-2910].
