[IANA #1434753] Outdated link for "wamp" in websocket subprotocol name registry

[oberstet]

@project-group was contacted by IANA, posting my reply here (GH doesn't auto-map GH teams to email, sucks, hence posting here):

Dear Amanda,

thanks for reaching out!

yes, the correct URL for the WAMP protocol project homepage is:

https://wamp-proto.org/

the direct link to the RFC formatted spec is:

https://wamp-proto.org/spec.html

where you find the protocol spec formatted in HTML, TXT (RFC) and PDF, and as "full", "basic profile only" and "advanced profile only" subsets.

the WAMP protocol project group is collaborating on:

https://github.com/wamp-proto/

with different repos for

• wamp-proto => the protocol and web site itself
• wamp-xbr => the decentralized messaging extension of WAMP
• wamp-ai => AI policies, support scripts & docs
• wamp-cicd => reusable CI/CD (GitHub) helpers and workflows

there is active work on different WAMP areas coming from different WAMP implementors (https://github.com/wamp-proto/wamp-proto/pulls)

---

the old URL http://wamp.ws/ is no longer managed or owned by us, and was apparently grabbed by a domain squatter -- it should be deleted wherever it appears.

v/r,
Tobias Oberstein

Dear Tobias,

It was pointed out to us that the URL for "WAMP" in the Websocket Subprotocol Name registry is out of date:

The subprotocol "wamp" links to the URL [http://wamp.ws/spec] for the
subprotocol definition. This currently links to, apparently, an
Indonesian online casino.

According to archive.org, this URL used to redirect to the active
domain wamp-proto.org [1]. Therefore, the correct URL to use instead
is probably https://wamp-proto.org/spec.

We wanted to contact you to confirm, so for now, we've replaced the wamp.ws link with a pointer to an archive.org version from March 2012 and a note indicating that the original is no longer available:

Github seems to establish continuity with your tavendo address, so I'm contacting you at the address listed in your profile. Is https://wamp-proto.org/spec the correct URL for the WAMP registration? How should we update your contact information there?

thanks,
