This document provides reference information for implementing a
cross-protocol network proxy that performs translation from the HTTP
protocol to the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). This will
enable an HTTP client to access resources on a CoAP server through
the proxy. This document describes how an HTTP request is mapped to
a CoAP request and how a CoAP response is mapped back to an HTTP
response. This includes guidelines for status code, URI, and media
type mappings, as well as additional interworking advice.

This document is a product of the Constrained RESTful Environments Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
