+This document has been introduced in order to let you find documents that
+specify standards used by curl, software that extends curl and web pages with
+"competing" utilities.
+
+Standards
+
+  RFC 959  - Defines how FTP works
+  RFC 1738 - Uniform Resource Locators
+  RFC 1777 - defines the LDAP protocol
+  RFC 1808 - Relative Uniform Resource Locators
+  RFC 1867 - Form-based File Upload in HTML
+
+  RFC 1950 - ZLIB Compressed Data Format Specification
+  RFC 1951 - DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification
+  RFC 1952 - gzip compression format
+
+  RFC 1959 - LDAP URL syntax
+  RFC 2045-2049 - Everything you need to know about MIME! (needed for form
+                  based upload)
+  RFC 2068 - HTTP 1.1 (obsoleted by RFC 2616)
+  RFC 2109 - HTTP State Management Mechanism (cookie stuff)
