Abstract

   Applications often use HTTP as a substrate to create HTTP-based APIs.
   This document specifies best practices for writing specifications
   that use HTTP to define new application protocols.  It is written
   primarily to guide IETF efforts to define application protocols using
   HTTP for deployment on the Internet, but might be applicable in other
   situations.
