Ask HN: What is a small(ish) RFC to implement for learning purposes?

2 pointsby recvonlineover 3 years ago
I recently setup my own CalDAV and CardDAV server (using Radicale https:&#x2F;&#x2F;radicale.org&#x2F;3.0.html), and I wondered how I can send and receive objects from this server (implementation). This journey let me read the CardDAV RFC (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tools.ietf.org&#x2F;rfcmarkup?doc=6352).<p>Now I want to practice implementing RFCs, since I hav e never done that before. It looks like the CardDAV one is quite big (?) for the first try.<p>So I wondered: Do you recommend or know a RFC which is easy&#x2F;small to implement so I can get my feet wet?

It’s about 65 pages so not really small, but the RFC for IRC client protocol looks like a relatively easy thing to implement since it’s mostly sending&#x2F;receiving ASCII and taking action based on the message received. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.irchelp.org&#x2F;protocol&#x2F;rfc&#x2F;rfc2812.txt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.irchelp.org&#x2F;protocol&#x2F;rfc&#x2F;rfc2812.txt</a>
