The Handle System is a general-purpose global name service that
allows secured name resolution and administration over the public
Internet. This document describes the protocol used for client
software to access the Handle System for both handle resolution and
administration. The protocol specifies the procedure for a client
software to locate the responsible handle server of any given
handle. It also defines the messages exchanged between the client
and server for any handle operation.

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.
