In Section 2 of draft-hammer-hostmeta-13, the spec directs a client to
make HTTP and HTTPS connections to ports 80 and 443, respectively. The
spec ought not refer to specific port numbers in normative text, but
rather the well-known HTTP and HTTPS ports -- if at all. Note that RFC
5785 (Well-Known URIs) does not refer to port numbers.
Additionally, the requirements to first check via HTTPS, then via
HTTP, and the requirements for identical contents, are not
requirements imposed by RFC 5785 -- though 5785 allows that "a
registration ... MAY also contain additional information, ... or
protocol-specific details". A reference to that text might be useful
to remind an implementer that other well-known URIs may have different
protocol-specific requirements.
Cheers,
Aaron
