<p>

|
This specification makes heavy use of the augmented BNF and generic
|
|
constructs defined by David H. Crocker for RFC 822 [9]. Similarly, it
|
|
reuses many of the definitions provided by Nathaniel Borenstein and
|
|
Ned Freed for MIME <a rel='bibref' href='rfc2616-sec17.html#bib7'>[7]</a>. We hope that their inclusion in this
|
|
specification will help reduce past confusion over the relationship
|
|
between HTTP and Internet mail message formats.

The HTTP protocol has evolved considerably over the years. It has
|
|
benefited from a large and active developer community--the many
|
|
people who have participated on the www-talk mailing list--and it is
|
|
that community which has been most responsible for the success of
|
|
HTTP and of the World-Wide Web in general. Marc Andreessen, Robert
|
|
Cailliau, Daniel W. Connolly, Bob Denny, John Franks, Jean-Francois
|
|
Groff, Phillip M. Hallam-Baker, Hakon W. Lie, Ari Luotonen, Rob
|
|
McCool, Lou Montulli, Dave Raggett, Tony Sanders, and Marc
|
|
VanHeyningen deserve special recognition for their efforts in
|
|
defining early aspects of the protocol.

This document has benefited greatly from the comments of all those
|
|
participating in the HTTP-WG. In addition to those already mentioned,
