HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery
RFC 5985, “HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2010 by M. Barnes. It has since been updated by RFC 7840. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol (L7 LCP) and describes the use of HTTP and HTTP/TLS as transports for the L7 LCP. The L7 LCP is used for retrieving location information from a server within an access network. It includes options for retrieving location information in two forms: by value and by reference. The protocol is an extensible application-layer protocol that is independent of the session layer. [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.
