Hi all, After briefly scanning through draft-jones-simple-web-discovery, which seems to be an individual draft, I wonder how the ALTO service would be registered in this solution. The text states: "The definition of URIs used to identify principals and services are outside the scope of this specification." If such issues are not clear as of now, it is unclear to me whether this is indeed a mature technology.
At first sight, compared to that, the U-NAPTR lookup is a well-understood mechanism used by other IETF protocols with similar requirements like ALTO.

I think it is worth considering as an alternative way for ALTO server discovery, since it provides a simple and coherent interface (based on HTTP GET) for this purpose.

For some reason, the list doesn’t appear to be accepting my message. Thanks, -- Mike From: Mike Jones Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2012 9:21 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Simple Web Discovery (SWD) Enabling Hosted Deployments I’ve updated the Simple Web Discovery (SWD)<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-simple-web-discovery> specification to incorporate a means of performing discovery on domains for which it may not be possible to create a .well-known endpoint. This can often be the case for hosted domains, where it is common for e-mail to be provided but no web server. This solution was developed in discussions by the OpenID Connect<http://openid.net/connect/> working group. This draft is being published now to facilitate discussions of the need to enable discovery for hosted domains and possible solutions for doing so at the IETF Applications Area working group meeting at IETF 85 in Atlanta<http://www.ietf.org/meeting/85/>. The updated specification is available at: • http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-simple-web-discovery-04 Changes made were: • Specified that the SWD server for a domain may be located at the simple-web-discovery subdomain of the domain and that SWD clients must first try the endpoint at the domain and then the endpoint at the subdomain. • Removed the SWD_service_redirect response, since redirection can be accomplished by pointing the simple-web-discovery subdomain to a different location than the domain's host. • Removed mailto: from examples in favor of bare e-mail address syntax. • Specified that SWD servers may also be run on ports other than 443, provided they use TLS on those ports.
