It's not an exact analog, but if  you want an authenticated channel, the 
following provides the same basic functionality:

wget -nv -r -N -l0 -np -nH --cut-dirs=1 -A txt,pdf 
https://www.ietf.org/ietf-ftp/rfc/

It could be tuned up a bit by asking the tools team to turn 
"Last-Modified"/"If-Modified-Since" header handling on for 
https://www.ietf.org/ (which would make the command above act 
substantially more like rsync).
