A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Form-based Device Input and Upload in HTML Author(s) : J. Salsman Filename : draft-salsman-www-device-upload-04.txt Pages : 5 Date : 03-Feb-99 Currently, HTML forms allow the producer of the form to request information -- including files of data -- from the operator reading the form. However, this capability is limited because HTML forms don't provide a way to ask the operator to submit input from arbitrary sources such as audio devices like microphones. Since input and upload from various devices is a feature that will benefit many applications, this draft proposes an extension to the HTML Input type=file form element specified in RFC 1867 to allow information providers to express requests for uploads from audio and other devices uniformly. A discussion of MIME audio data types to facilitate useful audio upload responses follows. Also security discussions are included, as are audio usability and quality discussions, a description of a backward compatibility strategy allowing new user agents to utilize HTML written with earlier proposals for audio input in mind. Motivations conclude. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-salsman-www-device-upload-04.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-salsman-www-device-upload-04.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-salsman-www-device-upload-04.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
