Internet Message Access Protocol - URLAUTH Extension
RFC 4467, “Internet Message Access Protocol - URLAUTH Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2006 by M. Crispin. It has since been updated by RFC 5092, RFC 5550. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the URLAUTH extension to the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) (RFC 3501) and the IMAP URL Scheme (IMAPURL) (RFC 2192). This extension provides a means by which an IMAP client can use URLs carrying authorization to access limited message data on the IMAP server.
An IMAP server that supports this extension indicates this with a capability name of "URLAUTH". [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.
