Internet Message Access Protocol - URL Access Identifier Extension
RFC 5593, “Internet Message Access Protocol - URL Access Identifier Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2009 by N. Cook. It updates RFC 5092. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The existing IMAP URL specification (RFC 5092) lists several <access> identifiers and <access> identifier prefixes that can be used to restrict access to URLAUTH-generated URLs. However, these identifiers do not provide facilities for new services such as streaming. This document proposes a set of new <access> identifiers as well as an IANA mechanism to register new <access> identifiers for future applications.
This document updates RFC 5092. [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.
