Network Working Group A. Newton Internet-Draft ARIN Intended status: Standards Track B. Ellacott Expires: May 1, 2015 APNIC N. Kong CNNIC October 28, 2014 HTTP usage in the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) draft-ietf-weirds-using-http-14 Abstract This document is one of a collection that together describes the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP). It describes how RDAP is transported using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). RDAP is a successor protocol to the very old WHOIS protocol. The purpose of this document is to clarify the use of standard HTTP mechanisms for this application.
