+RFC 5781                        rsync URI                  February 2010
+
+
+1.  Introduction
+
+   URIs were previously defined in RFC 2396, which was obsoleted by RFC
+   3986 [RFC3986].  The procedures for registering new URI schemes are
+   defined in RFC 4395 [RFC4395].  The rsync utility provides fast
+   incremental file transfer [rsync].  This document defines a URI
+   scheme for rsync.
+
+2.  rsync URI registration
+
+   This section contains the registration template for the rsync URI
+   scheme in accordance with RFC 4395 [RFC4395].  This URI scheme is for
+   the rsync protocol using TCP as the transport protocol.  Other
+   transports, such as rsync over SSH, are not supported by this URI
+   scheme.
+
+   URI scheme name: rsync
+
+   Status: provisional
+
+   URI scheme syntax: An rsync URI describes a source or destination for
+   the rsync application including a hostname, path, and optional user
+   and port.  The generic form of the rsync URI is:
+
+   rsync://[user@]host[:PORT]/Source
+
+   The rsync URI follows the general syntax from RFC 3986 and is defined
+   by the following ABNF [RFC5234]:
+
+      rsyncuri        = "rsync:" hier-part
+                        ; See RFC 3986 for the definition
+                        ; of hier-part
+
+   URI scheme semantics: An rsync URI may be used as either a source or
+   destination for the rsync application.  If the port is not specified,
+   it defaults to 873.
+
+   Encoding considerations: Since the rsync URI is defined using
+   standard elements from RFC 3986, no special encoding considerations
+   are present.
+
+   Applications/protocols that use this URI scheme name: The only
+   application that uses rsync URIs is rsync.
+
+   Interoperability considerations: Since only one application is
+   expected to make use of rsync URIs, this URI scheme is expected to
+   have few interoperability concerns.
+

+RFC 5781                        rsync URI                  February 2010
+
+
+   Security considerations: Section 7 of RFC 3986 describes general
+   security considerations for URI schemes.  The considerations about
+   reliability and consistency, malicious construction, rare IP address
+   formats, sensitive information, and semantic attacks all apply to
+   rsync URIs.  The considerations about transcoding do not apply.
+   Given how rsync is regularly used, it is expected that most
+   applications will not be bothered by data accessed via a given rsync
+   URI changing over time.

+
+3.  IANA Considerations
+
+   IANA has registered the rsync provisional URI scheme using the
+   template in Section 2.
+
+4.  Security Considerations
+
+   Many security considerations for the usage of URIs are discussed in
+   Section 7 of [RFC3986].  The considerations about reliability and
+   consistency, malicious construction, rare IP address formats,
+   sensitive information, and semantic attacks all apply to rsync URIs.
+   The considerations about transcoding do not apply.  The rsync URI
+   scheme has no particularly unique security considerations.
+
+   The security considerations of the rsync protocol are not covered in
+   this document.
