This document specifies an information retrieval protocol for digital
library. This protocol has two parts: standard search Webservice,
which defines the format of query words and the search results; a
method to find and select such search Webservice. By using this
protocol, all the databases including web page database, digital
issue database, and video database, can release the uniform search
Webservice, though these databases may have different metadata
standards and architectures. And these Webservice can be easily found
and visited by search systems. This very protocol makes it possible
that users can obtain all kinds of information on the Internet in
single search engine, but not visit lots of different search engines
one by one. Using this protocol is not limited in library.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-liang-irpdl-02.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.
