A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

        Title : Delta encoding in HTTP
        Author(s) : J. Mogul, Y. Goland, A. van Hoff,
                          F. Douglis, A. Feldmann, B. Krishnamurthy
        Filename : draft-mogul-http-delta-00.txt
        Pages : 41
        Date : 13-Jan-98

        Many HTTP requests cause the retrieval of slightly modified
        instances of resources for which the client already has a
        cache entry. Research has shown that such modifying
        updates are frequent, and that the modifications are
        typically much smaller than the actual entity. In such
        cases, HTTP would make more efficient use of network
        bandwidth if it could transfer a minimal description of the
        changes, rather than the entire new instance of the
        resource. This is called ``delta encoding.'' This
        document describes how delta encoding can be supported as a
        compatible extension to HTTP/1.1.

Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-mogul-http-delta-00.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-mogul-http-delta-00.txt

Internet-Drafts directories are located at:

        Africa: ftp.is.co.za

        Europe: ftp.nordu.net
                ftp.nis.garr.it

        Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au

        US East Coast: ds.internic.net

        US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
        "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-mogul-http-delta-00.txt".

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
