Re: [saag] Comment added to draft-gutmann-scep history

[Peter Gutmann <[e-mail]>]

OK, just posted it with (hopefully) all changes as requested, one small
difference is that I've put the HTTP note in section 4 which talks about HTTP
use:

   This section describes the SCEP Transactions and their HTTP [6] transport
   mechanism.

where it's more likely to be noticed than if it's tacked onto the
introduction.  I've also extended it a bit to point to the upcoming BCP-56,
which contains a lot of good advice on use of HTTP as a substrate:

Note that SCEP doesn't follow best current practices on usage of HTTP.  In
particular, it uses unregistered Media Types, it recommends ignoring Media
Types and hardcoding specific URI paths.  Guidance on the appropriate
application of HTTP in these circumstances may be found in

REF: "Building Protocols with HTTP", draft-ietf-httpbis-bcp56bis-08, Mark
Nottingham, November 2018,
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-bcp56bis-08.

Before the final version is published I'll go through it one more time to
align it with draft-BCP-56bis as much as possible, mostly a reference to
section 4.5.1 on the use of GET vs POST.
