The IESG has approved changing the status of the following document:
- The Safe Response Header Field
  (rfc2310) to Historic

This document action is documented at:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/status-change-http-experiments-to-historic/

A URL of the affected document is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc2310/

Status Change Details:

Over the years, a number of HTTP-related Experimental RFCs were published:

- RFC2169: A Trivial Convention for using HTTP in URN Resolution (published
June 1997) - RFC2296: HTTP Remote Variant Selection Algorithm -- RVSA/1.0
(published March 1998) - RFC2310: The Safe Response Header Field (published
April 1998) - RFC2660: The Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol (published
August 1999) - RFC2774: An HTTP Extension Framework (published February 2000)
- RFC8164: Opportunistic Security for HTTP/2 (published May 2017)

This note acknowledges that these experiments have ended and, as there is no
evidence of widespread use, designates the above RFCs as Historic.
