I'd like to propose a change that allows clients of the ACME protocol to obtain the URL to the CA's current Terms of Service (if any) without re-registering or trying to obtain a certificate and getting a failure response. This proposal has two parts: adding an entry to the directory, and adding the current ToS URL to response headers. Section 6.2 explains the directory, and adding an entry to the directory seems logical: { "new-reg": "https://example.com/acme/new-reg", "recover-reg": "https://example.com/acme/recover-reg", "new-authz": "https://example.com/acme/new-authz", "new-cert": "https://example.com/acme/new-cert", "revoke-cert": "https://example.com/acme/revoke-cert", * "agreement-url": "https://example.com/acme/subscriber-agreement-v01.pdf <https://example.com/acme/subscriber-agreement-v01.pdf>",* } Additionally, including the current ToS in response headers of a failed request will allow clients to show the current terms and re-prompt the user immediately, if available. Something like this: *Agreement-URL: https://example.com/acme/subscriber-agreement-v01.pdf <https://example.com/acme/subscriber-agreement-v01.pdf>* Both of these could be optional (as the CA sees fit), but it makes it possible for clients to offer a better user experience.
