Describe the issue

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6756#section-2.5.2 says

   If the study group or working party elects to transmit the text as an
   Internet-Draft, the document editor would be instructed to prepare
   the contribution in Internet-Draft format (in ASCII and optionally
   postscript format as per [RFC 2223]) and upload it via
   https://datatracker.ietf.org/idst/upload.cgi.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/idst/upload.cgi goes 404.

Code of Conduct

rjsparks commented 1 year ago

We should add a check in the document shepherd review to explicitly vet all URLs in the document prose - maybe including listing them in the report to highlight them for reviewers and ADs. That endpoint never really existed at the datatracker - it was part of the perl iesg tracker and at one point there may have been a redirect. So it is very surprising to see it at RFC6756.

Yes, we'll have to put a redirect in place to the current submission endpoint, but lets please not make any more references to such old things.

Also, postscript is no longer allowed for upload.

I ran linkchecker across all datatracker URLs that are in RFCs and here are the failures:
