A URL of the affected document is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8164/

Status Change Details:

Over the years, a number of HTTP-related Experimental RFCs were published:

- RFC2169: A Trivial Convention for using HTTP in URN Resolution (published
June 1997) - RFC2296: HTTP Remote Variant Selection Algorithm -- RVSA/1.0
(published March 1998) - RFC2310: The Safe Response Header Field (published
