Hi,

The HTTP WG is considering our embedding of SASL in HTTP.  I need
IETF consensus to be permitted to say "Authorization: SASL", so
to claim the "SASL" name.

They want to see some list traffic, to get an idea of interest in
this mechanism.  If you have any such feelings, please tell them,
because silence in the busy HTTP WG may cause it to be dropped.

While we implemented for Apache, Nginx and FireFox, I think this
opens excellent opportunities for RESTful and other HTTP protocols.
Would be useful to see those popup on that list.


Thanks!
 -Rick
