Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   The Repr-Digest and Content-Digest integrity fields are subject to
   HTTP content coding considerations.  There are some use cases that
   benefit from the unambiguous exchange of integrity digests of
   unencoded representation.  The Unencoded-Digest and Want-Unencoded-
   Digest fields complement existing integrity fields for this purpose.

   This document updates the terms "Integrity fields" and "Integrity
   preference fields" defined in RFC 9530.

Working Group Summary

   There was quiet but broad agreement to adopt, followed by regular
   check-ins and contributions, but the authors were most active. This
   is to be expected given that this is a "boring" but important
   exercise in creating a protocol element to fill a necessary hole.

Document Quality

   The document has received positive reviews within the Working Group
   and during Last Call. Feedback from SecDir and GenArt has been
   incorporated in the most recent version.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Mark Nottingham. The
   Responsible Area Director is Mike Bishop.
