Re: [lemonade] COMMENT: draft-ncook-urlauth-accessid



Hi Lisa,

Comment:
The URLAUTH RFC says:
 "The URLAUTH component overrides the second purpose of the enc-user in
  the IMAP URI and by default permits the URI to be resolved by any
  user permitted by the <access> identifier."

The 'stream' value doesn't seem to fit this definition, because 'stream' doesn't identify a user or a class of users.

I think I disagree. The 'stream' access identifier effectively defines a group of services that can resolve such URIs.

Since this draft is updating RFC5092, it would be appropriate (though a little obsessive) to update the definition given above with a new one.
Since this has been discussed in LEMONADE where URLAUTH mostly originated, I'm making this a COMMENT and don't object to the approach taken.
