Re: [Tools-discuss] Where are the IETF draft XML and TXT ?

Updating subject...

Yes, i always submitted the XML.

Theory:
  That draft-ietf-httpbis-cache-16 is not an RFC yet.  Seems like datatracker does
  not offer links to the XML of drafts once they have become RFC. 

The XML files for drafts do seem to be still directly accessible if you know the path:
   https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane-27.xml

I would call this a datatracker bug. No XML, no TXT rendering provided for drafts.

How the heck am i going to do research work into the past,
i often had to do rfcdiff against older drafts. That requires access
to draft text versions, it will not work with just the html'ized versions.

Do i need to rsync the whole tools.id repo now to do this ?!

*sigh*
