everyone-- After just now finding the root cause of yet another stupid interoperability problem to be an interaction between a client not choosing a sufficiently unique host/session identifier and a server being overly clever about using said identifiers for purposes other than intended in the protocol specification... WHEREAS the IETF has no document category for dealing with material that is unfit for Standards Track, that does not in any way describe Best Current Practice, provides Information of questionable utility, which is neither yet limited to Historical interest nor of merely Experimental nature... BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that IETF should create a new document category for Disinformation, and that RFC 2516 should immediately and with extreme prejudice be reclassified as such without further discussion. -- james woodyatt <jhw@xxxxxxxxx> member of technical staff, communications engineering _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
