Internet-Draft HTTP Authentication Scheme Registrations October 2012 1. Introduction This document registers Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) authentication schemes which have been defined in standards-track RFCs before the IANA HTTP Authentication Scheme Registry was established. 2. Security Considerations There are no security considerations related to the registration itself. 3. IANA Considerations Appendix A provides initial registrations of HTTP authentication schemes for the IANA HTTP Authentication Scheme registry at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-authschemes> (see Section 2.3 of [draft-ietf-httpbis-p7-auth]). 4.
