A wide range of applications have proposed various extensions of the
HTTP protocol. Current efforts span an enormous range, including
distributed authoring, collaboration, printing, and remote procedure
call mechanisms. These HTTP extensions are not coordinated, since
there has been no standard framework for defining extensions and
thus, separation of concerns. This document describes a generic
extension mechanism for HTTP, which is designed to address the
tension between private agreement and public specification and to
accommodate extension of applications using HTTP clients, servers,
and proxies. The proposal associates each extension with a globally
unique identifier, and uses HTTP header fields to carry the extension
identifier and related information between the parties involved in
the extended communication.
