Abstract


   This document describes a mechanism for creating, encoding, and
   verifying digital signatures or message authentication codes over
   components of an HTTP message.  This mechanism supports use cases
   where the full HTTP message may not be known to the signer, and where
   the message may be transformed (e.g., by intermediaries) before
   reaching the verifier.  This document also describes a means for
   requesting that a signature be applied to a subsequent HTTP message
   in an ongoing HTTP exchange.
