-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Linda Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2002 12:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: alan chew; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Comment on RFC 2485-DHCP Option for The Open Group's User Authentication Protocol In reference to RFC 2485, I would like to suggest some alternatives to the things written. In the last section of User Authentication Protocol Option "URL list A list of one or more URLs separated by the ASCII space character (0x20)." 1. Instead of ASCII space character, we should use square brackets [ ] to determine the next URL in the sequence. Space character is not encouraged as most webservers today support space in URL. Other ASCII characters is not suitable for implementation is it might also appear in the URL. To lessen the burden to the client to single out the URLs, we can encapsulate each URL with square brackets, not replacing it. The url should look something like this :[http://www.yahoo.com][http://www.google.com] 2. Port identifier includes into the consideration of showing it to the URL. By appending the port number at the end of the URL, eg: [http://www.yahoo.com:80] we can enable the UAP to detemine the port in an easier manner. Additional comments are welcome.
