I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft. For background on Gen-ART, please see the FAQ  at < http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/area/gen/trac/wiki/GenArtfaq>.   Please wait for direction from your document shepherd or AD before posting a new version of the draft.   Document: draft-ietf-httpauth-basicauth-update-06 Reviewer: Meral Shirazipour Review Date: 2015-02-19 IETF LC End Date: 2015-02-19 IESG Telechat date: 2015-02-19   Summary: This draft is ready to be published as Standards Track RFC but I have some comments.   Nits/editorial comments: -[Page 4], "the definition of the '"Digest" authentication scheme"--->remove extra ' before Digest -[Page 7], not sure about this, since this RFC is a Standards Track, how do we handle its  dependence on draft: [PRECIS] draft-ietf-precis-saslprepbis-13? I.e. will we wait for that draft to be RFC first? " For the password, recipients MUST support all characters defined in    the "OpaqueString" profile defined in in Section 4.2 of [PRECIS].
