            Bug ID: 215738
           Summary: uri.7: CONFORMING TO: Refers to obsolete IETF RFC 2396
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: alx.manpages@gmail.com
        Regression: No

[uri(7)::CONFORMING TO] reads as:

```
CONFORMING TO
       (IETF  RFC 2396)  <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt>,
       (HTML 4.0) <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40>.
```

which refers to an obsolete RFC[1].  We better conform to a newer RFC :)

Should check the following RFCs that replace it:

2396:
  <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986>
    <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6874> (updates 3986)
    <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8820> (updates 3986)

Suggested patch to update uri(7) man page.

The "CONFORMING TO" section of uri(7) man page is updated with following
changes:
1. reference to rfc2396 has been removed
2. references to rfc6874 and rfc8820 have been added.

But does the manual page really conform to the newer RFCs?  The contents are
quite large, and I don't know if some details of it are actually obsolete and
should be fixed.

Actually, it conforms more to rfc8820. So, IMHO, reference to rfc6874 can be
removed. If this sounds okay, I will commit a new patch.
