The IESG has received a request from the Constrained RESTful Environments WG (core) to consider the following document: - 'Guidelines for HTTP-to-CoAP Mapping Implementations' <draft-ietf-core-http-mapping-13.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2016-08-22. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document provides reference information for implementing a cross-protocol network proxy that performs translation from the HTTP protocol to the CoAP protocol. This will enable a HTTP client to access resources on a CoAP server through the proxy. This document describes how a HTTP request is mapped to a CoAP request, and then how a CoAP response is mapped back to a HTTP response. This includes guidelines for URI mapping, media type mapping and additional proxy implementation issues. This document covers the Reverse, Forward and Interception cross-protocol proxy cases. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-core-http-mapping/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-core-http-mapping/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
