Title: HTTP State Management Mechanism
Author(s): D. Kristol, L. Montulli.
Status: PROPOSED STANDARD
Date: Oct 2000
Length: 56176
Obsoletes: RFC2109
This document specifies a way to create a stateful session with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests and responses. It describes three new headers, Cookie, Cookie2, and Set-Cookie2, which carry state information between participating origin servers and user agents. The method described here differs from Netscape's Cookie proposal [Netscape], but it can interoperate with HTTP/1.0 user agents that use Netscape's method. (See the HISTORICAL section.)
This document reflects implementation experience with RFC2109 and obsoletes it.
