Well-Known Uniform Resource Identifiers
RFC 8615, “Well-Known Uniform Resource Identifiers”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2019 by M. Nottingham. It updates RFC 7230, RFC 7595. It obsoletes RFC 5785. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo defines a path prefix for "well-known locations", "/.well-known/", in selected Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) schemes.
In doing so, it obsoletes RFC 5785 and updates the URI schemes defined in RFC 7230 to reserve that space. It also updates RFC 7595 to track URI schemes that support well-known URIs in their registry.
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.
