A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : HTTP State Management Mechanism v2
Author(s) : Y. Pettersen
Filename : draft-pettersen-cookie-v2-02.txt
Pages : 31
Date : 2008-02-24
This document specifies a way to create a stateful session with
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests and responses. It
describes three HTTP headers, Cookie, Cookie2, and Set-Cookie2, which
carry state information between participating origin servers and user
agents. The method described here differs from both Netscape's
Cookie proposal [Netscape], and [RFC2965], but it can, provided some
requirements are met, interoperate with HTTP/1.1 user agents that use
Netscape's method. (See the HISTORICAL section.)
This document defines new rules for how cookies can be shared between
servers within a domain. These new rules are intended to address
security and privacy concerns that are difficult to counter for
clients implementing Netscape's proposed rules or the rules specified
by RFC 2965.
This document reflects implementation experience with RFC 2965 and
obsoletes it.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-pettersen-cookie-v2-02.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.
