Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field
RFC 2183, “Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 1997 by R. Troost, S. Dorner, K. Moore. It obsoletes RFC 1806. It has since been updated by RFC 2184, RFC 2231. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo provides a mechanism whereby messages conforming to the MIME specifications [RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2047, RFC 2048, RFC 2049] can convey presentational information. It specifies the "Content- Disposition" header field, which is optional and valid for any MIME entity ("message" or "body part"). [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
