The Handle System is a general-purpose global name service that allows
secured name resolution and administration over the public Internet. The
Handle System manages handles, which are unique names for digital
objects and other Internet resources. This document specifies the
protocol used between handle system clients and servers for handle
resolution and administration. The document assumes that readers are
familiar with the basic concepts of the Handle System as introduced in
the 'Handle System Overview' [1], as well as the data model and service
definition given in the 'Handle System Namespace and Service Definition'
document [2].

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.
