A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the HyperText Transfer Protocol
Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Proposed HTTP State Management Mechanism
Author(s) : D. Kristol, L. Montulli
Filename : draft-ietf-http-state-mgmt-03.txt, .ps
Pages : 19
Date : 07/19/1996
This document specifies a way to create a stateful session with HTTP
requests and responses. It describes two new headers, Cookie and requests
and responses. It describes two new headers, Cookie and Set-Cookie, which
carry state information between participating origin servers and user
agents. The method described here differs from Netscape's Cookie proposal,
but it can interoperate with HTTP/1.0 user agents that use Netscape's
method. (See the HISTORICAL section.)

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-state-mgmt-03.txt".
Or
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-state-mgmt-03.ps".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@ietf.org
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
