A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Uniform Resource Identifiers
Working Group of the IETF.

Title : The Path URN Specification
Author(s) : D. LaLiberte, M. Shapiro
Filename : draft-ietf-uri-urn-path-00.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 03/21/1995

A new "path" URN scheme is proposed that defines a uniformly hierarchical
name space. The resolution of a path URN is a two-step process: locating
the resolution server and locating the resource within the server. Existing
DNS capabilities are used to locate the resolution server and HTTP is used
as the protocol for locating a resource within the server.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-uri-urn-path-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
