Well-Known URIs for the WebSocket Protocol

Overview

RFC 8307, “Well-Known URIs for the WebSocket Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2018 by C. Bormann. It updates RFC 6455. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

RFC 5785 defines a path prefix, "/.well-known/", that can be used by well-known URIs. It was specifically defined for the "http" and "https" URI schemes. The present memo formally updates RFC 6455, which defines the URI schemes defined for the WebSocket Protocol, to extend the use of these well-known URIs to those URI schemes.

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.
