This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. The IESG has concerns about this protocol, and expects this document to be replaced relatively soon by a standards track document. Abstract The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol with the lightness and sp...

We present ontologydesignpatterns.org (ODP), a semantic web portal based on semantic wiki technology, that supports the community around best practices of ontology design. ODP provides services for ontology design pattern evaluation, training on ontology design, and a repository of reusable OWL ontologies. We also present Evaluation WikiFlow, a (Semantic) MediaWiki extension that we have develo...

Multimedia streaming over HTTP is no longer a niche research topic as it has entered our daily live. The common assumption is that it is deployed on top of the existing infrastructure utilizing application (HTTP) and transport (TCP) layer protocols as is. Interestingly, standards like MPEG’s Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) do not mandate the usage of any specific transport protocol ...

Frequently process workflows are distributed collections of activities that involve groups of individuals at disparate locations. To coordinate these tasks, a process support system should provide for distributed process execution and integration with tools across

This paper presents new methods enabling anonymous ommuni ation on the Internet. We des ribe a new proto ol that allows us to reate an anonymous overlay network by exploiting the web browsing a tivities of regular users. We show that the overlay network provides an anonymity set greater than the set of senders and re eivers in a realisti threat model. In parti ular, the proto ol provides unobse...

This document specifies a mutual authentication method for the Hyper-text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). This method provides a true mutual authentication between an HTTP client and an HTTP server using password-based authentication. Unlike the Basic and Digest authentication methods, the Mutual authentication method specified in this document assures the user that the server truly knows the user’s ...

This paper describes how the Salieri System, a powerful and exible tool for composition, analysis, and editing of score level music, has been modi ed to serve as a music-server in a local or global network using HTTP. This composition server o ers new ways of user-machine-interaction and a novel approach to composition using the internet. The architecture of the Salieri server and the required ...

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, object-oriented protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representati...

In conventional HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS), a video content is encoded into multiple representations, and each of these representations is temporally segmented into small pieces. A streaming client makes its segment selections among the available representations mostly according to the measured network bandwidth and buffer fullness. This greatly simplifies the adaptation algorithm design, ho...
