Extended URLFETCH for Binary and Converted Parts

Overview

RFC 5524, “Extended URLFETCH for Binary and Converted Parts”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2009 by D. Cridland. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The URLFETCH command defined as part of URLAUTH provides a mechanism for third parties to gain access to data held within messages in a user's private store; however, this data is sent verbatim, which is not suitable for a number of applications. This memo specifies a method for obtaining data in forms suitable for non-mail applications. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

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.
