A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) Working Group of the IETF. Title : WEB based Certificate Access Protocol-- WebCAP/1.0 Author(s) : S. Reddy Filename : draft-ietf-pkix-webcap-00.txt Pages : 26 Date : 20-Apr-98 This document describes the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificate Access Protocols. Protocol messages are defined for all relevant aspects of certificate creation and management. Note that ''certificate'' in this document refers to an X.509v3 Certificate as defined in [COR95, X509-AM]. This document specifies a set of methods, headers, and content-types ancillary to HTTP/1.1 to publish, retrieve X.509 certificates and Certificate Revocation Lists. This protocol also facilitates determining current status of a digital certificate without the use of CRLs. This protocol defines new methods, request and response bodies, error codes to HTTP/1.1 protocol for securely publishing, retrieving, and validation certificates across a firewalls. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-pkix-webcap-00.txt". A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pkix-webcap-00.txt Internet-Drafts directories are located at: Africa: ftp.is.co.za Europe: ftp.nordu.net ftp.nis.garr.it Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au US East Coast: ftp.ietf.org US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu Internet-Drafts are also available by mail. Send a message to: mailserv at ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pkix-webcap-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
