The IESG has received a request from the Hypertext Transfer Protocol WG (httpbis) to consider the following document: - 'The Hypertext Transfer Protocol Status Code 308 (Permanent Redirect)' <draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc7238bis-02.txt> as Proposed Standard This changes the status of RFC 7238 to Proposed Standard, from Experimental. We initially handled this with a status-change document, but needed to abandon that when a minor change came up in Section 4. 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@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-01-28. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the additional Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) status code 308 (Permanent Redirect). The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc7238bis/ When IESG discussion begins, it can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc7238bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
