I've extracted the edits that Don made at the IPP WG meeting in Tampa so
that the mailing list can see them regarding the "Internet Printing Protocol
(IPP): The 'indp' Delivery Method for Event Notifications and Protocol/1.0"
out for IPP WG Last Call closing on March 26, 2001. These comments are
being treated as Last Call comments. Send any comments on these comments to
the entire mailing list.
1. In section 5.2.1 notify-recipient-uri (uri), Should we call out a
reference to Section 12 here which is the "12 INDP URL Scheme" section?
2. In section 11.1 Conformance Requirements for Printers, need to explain
"why" for this conformance requirement #7:
7. MUST convert INDP URLs to their corresponding HTTP URL forms by the
same rules used to convert IPP URLs to their corresponding HTTP URL forms
(see section 5 'IPP URL Scheme' in [RFC2910]).
3. In section 12.5.2 INDP URL Comparisons, we suggest a simpler explanation
of the comparison algorithm:
When comparing two IPP URLs to decide if they match or not, an IPP
Client SHOULD use a case-sensitive octet-by-octet comparison of the
entire URLs, with these exceptions:
- A port that is empty or not given is equivalent to the well-known
port for that IPP URL (port 631);
- Comparisons of host names MUST be case-insensitive;
- Comparisons of scheme names MUST be case-insensitive;
- An empty 'abs_path' is equivalent to an 'abs_path' of "/".
Characters other than those in the "reserved" and "unsafe" sets (see
[RFC-2396] and [RFC-2732]) are equivalent to their ""%" HEX HEX"
encoding. For example, the following three URIs are equivalent:
ipp://abc.com:631/~smith/printer
ipp://ABC.com/%7Esmith/printer
ipp://ABC.com:/%7esmith/printer
Would this be more clear? "All of the URL up to the 'abs_path' MUST be
case-insensitive. The 'abs_path' SHOULD be case-sensitive."
Thanks,
Tom

Subject: IPP> ADM - IPP WG Last Call for "Internet Printing Protocol
(IPP): The 'indp' Delivery Method for Event Notifications and
Protocol/1.0" closing on March 26, 2001
All,
This is a working group Last Call for the "Internet Printing Protocol (IPP):
The 'indp' Delivery Method for Event Notifications and Protocol/1.0
". A version of this documents has been forwarded to the Internet
Draft directory as <draft-ietf-ipp-indp-method-04.txt>
PDF and Word versions of the drafts are also posted at the ietf-ipp web
site:
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/
The Last Call notice follows:
This is a formal request for final comments within the IETF IPP
working group for one document. The document is "Internet Printing Protocol
(IPP): The 'indp' Delivery Method for Event Notifications and Protocol/1.0",
which is being proposed for forwarding on to the IESG for consideration as
Standards Track RFC.
This is a working group product, which has been discussed since early 2001,
and I believe that we now have working group consensus on its adequacy.
The document is revision of an earlier draft that was sent to the IESG last
year.
The purpose of a working group Last Call is in the style of "speak now or
forever hold your peace" in case there are fundamental objections which have
not gotten previous or adequate discussion, or minor errors which need
correction.
Last Calls are for a minimum of 2 weeks. The period for working group
comments will close on Monday, 26 March, 2001 (US Pacific time reference),
to allow review during the upcoming IETF50 Meeting.
The relevant document is:
Title : Internet Printing Protocol (IPP): The INDP
Notification
Delivery Method and Protocol/1.0
Author(s) : H. Parra, T. Hastings
Filename : draft-ietf-ipp-indp-method-04.txt
Pages : 31
Date : 07-Mar-01
The IPP notification extension document [ipp-ntfy] defines operations
that a client can perform in order to create Subscription Objects in a
Printer and carry out other operations on them. The Subscription Object
specifies that when one of the specified Events occurs, the Printer
sends an asynchronous Event Notification to the specified Notification
Recipient via the specified Delivery Method (i.e., protocol).

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipp-indp-method-04.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.
