Hi Gonzalo, thank you for the review. > Draft: draft-bryan-http-digest-algorithm-values-update-03.txt > Reviewer: Gonzalo Camarillo <[email protected]> > Review Date: 9 December 2009 > > Summary: > > This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should > be fixed before publication. > > > Comments: > > Abstracts should not contain references because it should be possible to > read them as stand-alone documents. Reference removed. The abstract now reads: "The IANA registry named "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Digest Algorithm Values" defines values for digest algorithms used by Instance Digests in HTTP. Instance Digests in HTTP provide a digest, also known as a checksum or hash, of an entire representation of the current state of a resource. This draft adds new values to the registry and updates previous values. " > The note in the second paragraph of the Introduction states that this is > unrelated to HTTP authentication. Adding an extra sentence explaining > what this relates to instead would be useful. Introduction: "The IANA registry named "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Digest Algorithm Values" defines values for digest algorithms used by Instance Digests in HTTP. Note: This is unrelated to HTTP Digest Authentication. Instance Digests in HTTP provide a digest, also known as a checksum or hash, of an entire representation of the current state of a resource. The registry was created by [RFC3230] in 2002. This draft adds new values to the registry and updates previous values which had redundant or outdated references. " > Section 4 does not mention the addition of two new algorithms. "The SHA-256 and SHA-512 algorithms have been added to the registry. " -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
