A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Age Header Field in HTTP/1.1 Author(s) : R. Fielding Filename : draft-fielding-http-age-00.txt Pages : 6 Date : 03/26/1997 The "Age" response-header field in HTTP/1.1 [RFC 2068] is intended to provide a lower-bound for the estimation of a response message's age (time since generation) by explicitly indicating the amount of time that is known to have passed since the response message was retrieved or revalidated. However, there has been considerable controversy over when the Age header field should be added to a response. This document explains the issues and provides a set of proposed changes for the revision of RFC 2068. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-fielding-http-age-00.txt". A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-fielding-http-age-00.txt Internet-Drafts directories are located at: o Africa: ftp.is.co.za o Europe: ftp.nordu.net ftp.nis.garr.it o Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au o US East Coast: ds.internic.net o US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu Internet-Drafts are also available by mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-fielding-http-age-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.
