7. IANA Considerations

7.1. Status Code Registration

The "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Status Code Registry" located at http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes has been updated with the registration below:

ValueDescriptionReference

412Precondition FailedSection 4.2

7.2. Header Field Registration

HTTP header fields are registered within the "Message Headers" registry maintained at http://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/.

This document defines the following HTTP header fields, so the "Permanent Message Header Field Names" registry has been updated accordingly:
