Introduction and Overview + + RFC 1738 [RFC1738] registers the mailserver: URI scheme as + provisional in the IANA URI registry defined by [RFC4395], defining + it as "Access to data available from mail servers" with no further + details provided. The author of this document is not aware of any + other more detailed definition of the mailserver: URI scheme. The + mailserver: URI scheme as currently specified is not interoperable. + There is a small risk that somebody would decide to implement this + scheme by looking at IANA's URI scheme registry, possibly inventing + some undocumented syntax for it. In order to minimize such risk, + this document discourages any future implementations of this URI + scheme and asks IANA to mark it as Historic in the URI scheme + registry. + + There were some previous attempts to provide detailed documentation + of the mailserver: URI scheme, but those efforts were not successful. + Implementors interested in providing instructions for generating an + email [RFC5322] message can instead use the mailto: URI scheme + [RFC6068]. Implementors interested in referencing a message or a set + of messages available from a mailstore over IMAP [RFC3501], POP + [RFC1939], or web [RFC2616] can instead use the imap: [RFC5092], pop: + [RFC2384] or http: [RFC2616] URIs, respectively. + +2. Security Considerations + + In the past, the mailserver: URI scheme was never properly documented + and thus doesn't interoperate. There are no known implementations of + this URI scheme. + +3. IANA Considerations + + IANA has re-registered the mailserver: URI scheme as Historic in the + URI scheme registry and updated the reference to point to this + document. + + + + + + + +Melnikov Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 6196 Moving mailserver: URI Scheme to Historic March 2011 + + +4.
