Re: [Uri-review] ssh URI



David,

I see some definite negatives to what you are suggesting:

  1. Requires some sort of consortia or legal framework.
  2. Requires an additional resolution.  SSH is commonly used for administration, and so I would be loathe to add that sort of step.
  3. Requires ssh applications to understand HTTP URI schema.
Or do I misread what you are suggesting?

I don't see a need to define a new URI scheme for this.  You can just
define an http URI prefix for this purpose, as described in
http://dbooth.org/2006/urn2http/

Furthermore, as Graham Klyne suggested during a similar discussion
earlier, "an HTTP URI can also retrieve a protocol [handler]
implementation"
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2009Sep/0029.html
This could dramatically improve the adoption rate of a new protocol.

Hello,

Attached is a draft to be submitted to the IETF for URI scheme related 
to secure shell (ssh).  The draft was originally included in the secsh 
Working Group which has since concluded.  

http://tools.ietf.org/wg/secsh/draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri/

I recently received a request to pick this draft back up and the 
co-author and I will be submitting it to the IETF under the Application 
Area.

Please provide feedback as appropriate.

Thank you for your time.
