Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport
draft-sweet-rfc2910bis-06
Abstract
This document is one of a set of documents, which together describe
all aspects of a new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IPP is an
application level protocol that can be used for distributed printing
using Internet tools and technologies. This document defines the
rules for encoding IPP operations and IPP attributes into the
Internet MIME media type called "application/ipp". This document
also defines the rules for transporting a message body whose Content-
Type is "application/ipp" over HTTP.
Editor's Note
This draft is being submitted as an AD-sponsored replacement of RFCs
2910 and 3382, with drafts being reviewed and edited by the IEEE-
ISTO's Printer Working Group IPP WG. The initial goal is to have an
clean version of IPP/1.1 as an IETF Proposed Standard. The long-term
goal is to advance IPP/1.1 to IETF Internet Standard.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-
Drafts is at http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any

material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
This Internet-Draft will expire on June 4, 2016.
