The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless application-
level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information
systems.  This document defines HTTP/1.1 conditional requests,
including metadata header fields for indicating state changes,
request header fields for making preconditions on such state, and
rules for constructing the responses to a conditional request when
one or more preconditions evaluate to false.

This document is a product of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Bis Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
