What ever happened to the section about backward compatibility with
IPP/1.0? It used to be in
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_PRO/ipp-scheme-981116.doc

1 Compatibility with IPP/1.0
For compatibility with IPP/1.0, clients and IPP objects (i.e. a server)
MUST support additional schemes as described in this section:
· If a server receives an IPP/1.0 request, it MUST return an IPP/1.0
response. That is, it MUST support an http-URL in the target "printer-uri"
and "job-uri" operation attributes in a request. If the server returns any
of the 3 attributes, "job-uri", "job-printer-uri" or
"printer-uri-supported" in the response, the value of these attributes MUST
be http-URLs. For security, a server MAY also support https-URLs.
· When a server returns the printer attribute "printer-uri-supported",
it MUST return all supported values for an IPP/NV request. For an IPP/1.0
request, a server MUST NOT return values that are ipp-URLs, i.e. it MUST
return only the http-URLs and https-URLs.
· The table below shows the type of URL that a server returns for the
"job-uri" and "job-printer-uri" job attributes for all operations based on
how the job was created. The "or" in the table below indicates an
implementation option.
|-----------+------------------------------------|
| Operation | Job created via |
| attributes| |
| for a | |
| request | |
|-----------+------------------------------------|
| | ipphttphttps |
|-----------+------------------------------------|
| ipp | ippippNo URL returned |
|-----------+------------------------------------|
|http | httphttpNo URL returned |
|-----------+------------------------------------|
|https | https or httphttps or httphttps |
|-----------+------------------------------------|
· If a server registers an ipp-URL with a name service, then it
MUST also register an http-URL. If a printer supports a secure
connection using SSL3, then it MUST register an https-URL.
· An IPP/NV client MUST use an ipp-URL for non-secure printers
unless it receives a "version not supported" error message. Then it
MUST try to send a request in version 1.0, using the http-URL in
place of the ipp-URL for the target "job-uri" and "printer-uri"
operation attributes in the request. For secure printers, an IPP/NV
client must operate as an IPP/1.0 client and use an https-URL. An
IPP/1.0 client MUST use an http-URL for non-secure printers and an
https-URL for secure printers.

As usual, send any comments to the DL. This will also be on the
agenda for
next week's IPP WG meeting and maybe today's telecon, if callers want
to
discuss.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internet Printing Protocol Working
Group of
the IETF.
Title : Internet Printing Protocol (IPP): IPP URL
Scheme
Author(s) : R. Herriot, I. McDonald
Filename : draft-ietf-ipp-url-scheme-00.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 12-Jan-01
This document is a product of the Internet Printing Protocol Working
Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Comments should
be submitted to the ipp@p... mailing list.
A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipp-url-scheme-00.txt
Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the
username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-ietf-ipp-url-scheme-00.txt".
A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt
Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.
Send a message to:
mailserv@i...
In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipp-url-scheme-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack"
or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail
readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been
split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation
on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
