A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : PSRL: A Rule Specification Language for Proxy Services
Author(s) : A. Beck, M. Hofmann
Filename : draft-beck-opes-psrl-00.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 22-Nov-00
Proxy services are a new class of applications running on caching
proxies or dedicated application servers, preferably at the network
edge. They are described in [2] and [3]. Execution of proxy services
is triggered by certain conditions. These conditions are service
specific and have to be provided by the party on behalf of which the
affected service modules are executed.
The Proxy Service Rule Specification Language (PSRL) is an XML-based
language that can be used to describe service specific execution
rules. It allows a service provider to tell a proxy caching provider
when and how the services should be executed.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-beck-opes-psrl-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.
