Is it possible to suggest an update to RFC?


Section 4, page 34:

If the message uses the media type "multipart/byteranges", and the
     ransfer-length is not otherwise specified, then this self-
     ^
     should be transfer instead?
     elimiting media type defines the transfer-length. This media type
     UST NOT be used unless the sender knows that the recipient can arse
     ^                                                              ^
     should be MUST?                                                should be parse? arse means ass as far as I know
     it; the presence in a request of a Range header with ultiple byte-
                                                          ^
                                                          should be multiple?
     range specifiers from a 1.1 client implies that the lient can parse
                                                         ^
                                                         should be client?
     multipart/byteranges responses.

There are probably 5 typos, and I wonder how can I suggest an update? Registration is not available as it is, because your account at ietf.org should be reviewed by... so-called administrator.

P. S. I know, RFC shouldn't be updated often, and these "issues" are not crucial, but again, this is a fundamental thing. It should be as ideal as possible.


Solution

  • It's been noticed before and reported, the response was

    Unfortunately, we can't update the document, as published RFCs don't change. This was already reported and verified as an error (http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=2616&eid=652).

    Arse it indeed.
