Additional Hash Algorithms for HTTP Instance Digests
RFC 5843, “Additional Hash Algorithms for HTTP Instance Digests”, is an Informational document published in April 2010 by A. Bryan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IANA registry named "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Digest Algorithm Values" defines values for digest algorithms used by Instance Digests in HTTP. Instance Digests in HTTP provide a digest, also known as a checksum or hash, of an entire representation of the current state of a resource. This document adds new values to the registry and updates previous values. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
