Title : Geographic extensions for HTTP transactions
Author(s) : A. Daviel
Filename : draft-daviel-http-geo-header-04.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2003-7-24
This memo describes a method of adding simple geographic position
information to HTTP transactions using extension headers. In the
case of an HTTP request, the extensions indicate a geographic
position or region that the requesting agent is interested in. This
information may be used by a server to present appropriate position-
dependent responses, such as search engine results, without the
additional overhead of geographic query requests and possibly
graphical input. In the case of an HTTP response, the extensions
indicate a geographic position or region relevant to the resource
described in the body of the response. This information may be used
for automated resource discovery.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-daviel-http-geo-header-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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
