Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-masinter-url-ipv6-00.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: Using IPv6 Addresses in URLs
	Author(s)	: L. Masinter, J. Gettys, B. Carpenter
	Filename	: draft-masinter-url-ipv6-00.txt
	Pages		: 3
	Date		: 12-Mar-98
	
   The normal textual representation for IPv6 addresses as a set
   of colon-separated hexadecimal numbers does not work well with
   most deployed URL-parsing software. This document describes an
   alternate format which will pass unharmed through most URL-parsing
   software.

Send a message to:	mailserv@ietf.org.  In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-masinter-url-ipv6-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
