Hi,

This is the recent proposal being orginated inside the OpenIDConnect community 
I mentioned at the mike that
could be useful for not requiring an U-NAPTR lookup.

I think it is worth considering as an alternative way for ALTO server 
discovery, since it provides a
simple and  coherent interface (based on HTTP GET) for this purpose.

Be goode,

Paul, could you do me a favor and forward this note to the apps-discuss list so 
people have context on why I updated SWD?  For some reason, the list doesn’t 
appear to be accepting my message.

                                                            Thanks,
                                                            -- Mike

Subject: Simple Web Discovery (SWD) Enabling Hosted Deployments

I’ve updated the Simple Web Discovery 
(SWD)<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-simple-web-discovery> 
specification to incorporate a means of performing discovery on domains for 
which it may not be possible to create a .well-known endpoint.  This can often 
be the case for hosted domains, where it is common for e-mail to be provided 
but no web server.  This solution was developed in discussions by the OpenID 
Connect<http://openid.net/connect/> working group.

This draft is being published now to facilitate discussions of the need to 
enable discovery for hosted domains and possible solutions for doing so at the 
IETF Applications Area working group meeting at IETF 85 in 
Atlanta<http://www.ietf.org/meeting/85/>.

The updated specification is available at:

·        http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-simple-web-discovery-04

Changes made were:
·        Specified that the SWD server for a domain may be located at the 
simple-web-discovery subdomain of the domain and that SWD clients must first 
try the endpoint at the domain and then the endpoint at the subdomain.
·        Removed the SWD_service_redirect response, since redirection can be 
accomplished by pointing the simple-web-discovery subdomain to a different 
location than the domain's host.
·        Removed mailto: from examples in favor of bare e-mail address syntax.
·        Specified that SWD servers may also be run on ports other than 443, 
provided they use TLS on those ports.

An HTML formatted version is available at:

·        http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-simple-web-discovery-04.html
