RFC 5985: HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery (HELD)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7840. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines a Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol (L7 LCP) and describes the use of HTTP and HTTP/TLS as transports for the L7 LCP. The L7 LCP is used for retrieving location information from a server within an access network. It includes options for retrieving location information in two forms: by value and by reference. The protocol is an extensible application-layer protocol that is independent of the session layer. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
