The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Linkset: Media Types and a Link Relation Type for Link Sets' (draft-ietf-httpapi-linkset-10.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Building Blocks for HTTP APIs Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Murray Kucherawy and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpapi-linkset/ Technical Summary This specification defines two formats and respective media types for representing sets of links as stand-alone documents. One format is JSON-based, the other aligned with the format for representing links in the HTTP "Link" header field. This specification also introduces a link relation type to support discovery of sets of links. This is intended to be used when RFC 8288 links are not usable, and delivering a set of links as a stand-alone document is preferable. Working Group Summary This is a product of the HTTPAPI working group. The document had detailed review from many WG members and while there was some discussion, there was nothing especially controversial, nor rough points in any consensus issues. This was originally set to be Informational, but following a question from one of the Directorate reviews, confirmation on the wg mailing list, and IETF Last Call this document was changed to Proposed Standard. Document Quality There are several implementations existing and planned. These are noted in Appendix B of the draft, which will be removed before publication as an RFC. Personnel The shepherd for this document was Rich Salz; the responsible AD is Francesca Palombini. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
