The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Well-Known Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)' (draft-nottingham-rfc5785bis-10.txt) as Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Alexey Melnikov. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-nottingham-rfc5785bis/ Technical Summary This document updates two RFCs defining the /.well-known/ path for URLs in HTTP (RFC 5785) and thewebsocketprotocol (RFC 8307). The only meaningful change is to relax some of the constraints on registrations to allow for a broader set of uses. For instance, service discovery is now expressly permitted. There are also a number of editorial improvements and an expansion of the security considerations. Working Group Summary This is not a WG document. The main change in this document is the result of some contention about the intent of the mechanism and some lengthy discussions in plenary (e.g., <https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/101/materials/minutes-101-dispatch-01>). A mailing list for discussing this was established after that most recent discussion: <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/http-well-known/>. Document Quality This is a bis document for a commonly used registry. The goal of the document is to relax and clarify registration requirements. Personnel Shepherd: Martin Thomson Responsible AD: Alexey Melnikov RFC Editor Note In section 3.1, 10th para, replace the last sentence: OLD: The Experts can change a provisional entry's status to permanent at any time. NEW: The Experts can change a provisional entry's status to permanent; in doing so, the Experts should consider how widely used a value is, and consult the community beforehand.
