If I cut and paste the https: URI intoa browser, some fail. This is to be expected as some have been folded over two lines to meet the requirements of publication as an RFC.
This is not a new problem. Indeed, there is a technical solution in the shape of RFC8792 which prescribes the use of backslash to denote where such folding has occurred. This technique is not as widely known as it might be - I have seen comments on directorate lists on the lines of 'What is this?' - but it does offer a solution. I leave it up to the author as to whether or not this approach would be an improvement here.

Abstract The IETF FTP service running at ftp.ietf.org, ops.ietf.org and ietf.org will be retired. A number of published RFCs in the IETF and IAB streams include URIs that reference this FTP service. To ensure that the materials referenced using the IETF FTP service can still be found, this document updates the FTP-based references in these affected documents with HTTPS URIs. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-danyliw-replace-ftp-pointers/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce .
