Look up an IETF RFC by number. Pass number as RFC2616, 2616, or the integer 2616. Returns the RFC title, authors, publication date, status (e.g. INTERNET STANDARD, PROPOSED STANDARD, DRAFT STANDARD, INFORMATIONAL, EXPERIMENTAL, HISTORIC, BEST CURRENT PRACTICE), stream (IETF/IAB/IRTF/Independent/Legacy), DOI, canonical rfc-editor.org URL, and the full standards relationship chain: which RFCs this one obsoletes / is obsoleted by, and which it updates / is updated by. Authoritative data from the IETF/RFC Editor index. Use this to resolve whether a spec is current or superseded before relying on it.
