+ Well-Known URIs for the WebSocket Protocol
+
+Abstract
+
+ RFC 5785 defines a path prefix, "/.well-known/", that can be used by
+ well-known URIs. It was specifically defined for the "http" and
+ "https" URI schemes. The present memo formally updates RFC 6455,
+ which defines the URI schemes defined for the WebSocket Protocol, to
+ extend the use of these well-known URIs to those URI schemes.
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+ This is an Internet Standards Track document.
+
+ This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force
+ (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has
+ received public review and has been approved for publication by the
+ Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on
+ Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 7841.

+1. Introduction
+
+ [RFC5785] defines a path prefix, "/.well-known", that can be used by
+ well-known URIs. It also contains an IANA registry for URI suffixes
+ to be used with this path prefix for forming well-known URIs.
+
+ In [RFC5785], this mechanism is specifically defined for the "http"
+ and "https" URI schemes (now defined in [RFC7230]). Other URI
+ schemes such as "coap" and "coaps" [RFC7252] have since picked up
+ this mechanism, sharing the registry of URI suffixes with that for
+ HTTP(S).
+
+ [RFC6455], which defines the URI schemes defined for the WebSocket
+ Protocol, "ws" and "wss", does not define the use of well-known URIs
+ for these URI schemes.
+
+ The present memo formally updates [RFC6455] to extend the use of
+ [RFC5785] well-known URIs to the URI schemes "ws" and "wss".
+
+ Well-known URIs for "ws" and "wss" share the registry for URI
+ suffixes established by [RFC5785]; no change is necessitated by the
+ present memo in the registry or its IANA considerations.
+
+2. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document does not require any IANA actions.
+
+3. Security Considerations
+
+ The Security Considerations of [RFC5785] apply and need to be
+ considered for all well-known URIs.
+
+ It has always been possible to form "ws" and "wss" URIs in such a way
+ that they map to well-known HTTP(S) URIs when using the procedure in
+ Section 4 of [RFC6455]; no new security considerations are created by
+ now formally making the well-known URI mechanism available for "ws"
+ and "wss".

+RFC 8307 Well-Known URIs for the WebSocket Protocol January 2018
+
+
+ However, with well-known URIs becoming available for the WebSocket
+ Protocol, applications that want to define well-known URI suffixes
+ specifically for WebSocket use also need to consider whether the
+ resources becoming available under the equivalent HTTP(S) URI formed
+ by Section 4 of [RFC6455] pose any information disclosure or other
+ security considerations.
