[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The IESG has received a request from the TLS Working Group to reclassify RFC 2818 (HTTP Over TLS) to Proposed Standard.

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf at ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-06-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg at ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract     

This memo describes how to use TLS to secure HTTP connections over the Internet. Current practice is to layer HTTP over SSL (the predecessor to TLS), distinguishing secured traffic from insecure traffic by the use of a different server port. This document documents that practice using TLS. A companion document describes a method for using HTTP/TLS over the same port as normal HTTP [RFC2817].

No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
