2088    Myers        Jan 97   IMAP4 non-synchronizing literals

The Internet Message Access Protocol [IMAP4] contains the "literal"
syntactic construct for communicating strings.  When sending a literal
from client to server, IMAP4 requires the client to wait for the server
to send a command continuation request between sending the octet count
and the string data.  This document specifies an alternate form of
literal which does not require this network round trip.  [STANDARDS-

2069    Franks       Jan 97   An Extension to HTTP : Digest Access
                              Authentication

The protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.0" includes the specification for a

different authentication scheme is needed to address this severe
limitation.  This document provides specification for such a scheme,
referred to as "Digest Access Authentication".  [STANDARDS-TRACK]
