- Here's the form for registering 'text/html' partly filled in, from RFC
- 1341.
-
- I don't think this needs a ton of work, just to fill in a few of the
- references. As we get some operations experience with it (and some
- applications support!) I could imagine putting more frobs on it. Not
- yet tho.
-
- To: IANA@isi.edu
- Subject: Registration of new MIME content-type/subtype
-
- MIME type name:
- text
- MIME subtype name:
- html
- Required parameters:
- none
- Optional parameters:
- left open for future study.
-
- Any additional parameters should match up with existing HTML
- constructs, so that e.g. the parameter
- title="Making links in the web"
- would be functionally equivalent to an HTML preamble of
- <title>Making links in the web</title>
- Encoding considerations:
- HTML text may contain ISO Latin-1 characters or other 8 bit
- values; if so the text should be wrapped with one of the
- standard MIME 8 bit encodings.
- Security considerations:
- HTML documents may contain embedded information used to
- instruct browsers and viewers to execute queries on remote
- databases. Some HTML browsers have included support for
- embedded command languages. Such facilities should be used
- with care.
- Published specification:
- "The HTTP Protocol as Implemented in W3", avaiable for
- anonymous ftp from ftp://info.cern.ch/pub/doc/www/http.txt.
- Describes the HTTP interactive access protocol and the tags used
- in HTML documents.
-
- "The WWW Book", from
- ftp://info.cern.ch/pub/doc/the_www_book.txt.
-
- "Universal Document Identifiers on the Network", OSI-DS-XXX,
- from XXX.
