A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Service Location Protocol
Working Group of the IETF.
Title : An API for Service Location
Author(s) : E. Guttman, D. Provan
Filename : draft-ietf-svrloc-api-01.txt
Pages : 36
Date : 03/25/1997
The Service Location Protocol coupled with the Service Location API provide
a new way for clients to dynamically discovery network services. It is
simple to offer highly available services which require no user
configuration or communication with network administrators prior to use.
The document includes examples and applications.
Client software modified to use Service Location can make very simple
requests to find service by type or by characteristic. The latter
capability allows the client to choose intelligently between services of
the same type. Service software modified to use Service Location may
dynamically advertise its characteristics and existence.

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-svrloc-api-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
