RFC 8187
Title: Indicating Character Encoding and Language
for HTTP Header Field Parameters
Author: J. Reschke
Status: Standards Track
Stream: IETF
Date: September 2017
Mailbox: julian.reschke@greenbytes.de
Pages: 13
Characters: 28118
Obsoletes: RFC 5987
I-D Tag: draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc5987bis-05.txt
URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8187
DOI: 10.17487/RFC8187
By default, header field values in Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
messages cannot easily carry characters outside the US-ASCII coded
character set. RFC 2231 defines an encoding mechanism for use in
parameters inside Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) header
field values. This document specifies an encoding suitable for use
in HTTP header fields that is compatible with a simplified profile of
the encoding defined in RFC 2231.
This document obsoletes RFC 5987.
This document is a product of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Bis Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
