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.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-masinter-url-ipv6-00.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-masinter-url-ipv6-00.txt

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.
