 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Authenticated Firewall 
 Traversal Working Group of the IETF.                                      

       Title     : Feature Discovery: A Generic Extension Mechanism 
                   for SOCKS Version 5

This document specifies a command extension to the SOCKS Version 5 protocol
which enables compliant clients to discover features supported by the 
server.  After discovering the support of such features, the client may use
them in subsequent connections to that server.  This mechanism does not 
provide for negotiation; it is a way of instructing the client what 
features the server supports, not establishing which features the client 
supports or wishes to use.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-aft-socks-ext-00.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.
