The HTTP State Management Mechanism (httpstate) working group in the Applications Area has concluded. The IESG contact person is Peter Saint-Andre. The mailing list will remain active. The HTTPSTATE working group was chartered to produce an accurate and complete specification of the HTTP state management mechanism (commonly known as "cookies"). With the publication of RFC 6265, the group has achieved its primary goal. Thanks to Bil Corry for instigating this work, Adam Barth for taking on the role of document editor, and Jeff Hodges for chairing the effort. To ensure complete documentation of the working group's decisions, the mailing list archive will be retained. In addition, the list will remain open for further discussion regarding HTTP state management technologies. - Peter Saint-Andre, Responsible Area Director _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
