[core] Informative refs in core-coap: groupcomm / http-mapping ?

["Dijk, Esko" <[e-mail]>]

Dear all,

I was just looking at the informative references section of core-coap. Ideas for improving these references:

1)
We could replace reference to  [I-D.bormann-core-cross-reverse-convention] with [draft-castellani-core-http-mapping], where we plan to add a default URI convention for a reverse proxy in the next version, similar to the current content of [I-D.bormann-core-cross-reverse-convention].

2)
We could add a reference to [draft-ietf-core-groupcomm] to point to additional guiding text on these two aspects:

*         Multicast Request Acceptance and Response Suppression (section 3.6). This provides details to the core-coap rule that a "server MAY always pretend it did not receive the request"

*         A new section will be added for the next groupcomm version about Proxying of multicast requests; related to core-coap section 8.2.2. It explains in more detail the problems when doing this and a solution as well.

Would this be useful to have in core-coap - any opinions?

regards,

Esko Dijk
