Description
Our documentation is replete with references to now-obsolete RFCs such as [RFC 7231](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231), [RFC 7238](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7238), etc. Many of these references can be replaced by links to [RFC 9110 (HTTP Semantics)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110), but please do inspect each of them on a case by case basis, and map the respective section numbers, if needed.
If the specification itself has changed, and we need to update Falcon's behaviour, please file new issues.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by searching Falcon's documentation for references to RFC 7231, RFC 7238, and other obsolete RFCs. Review each reference against RFC 9110, updating links and section numbers where appropriate; if Falcon's behavior would need to change, file a separate issue rather than changing it here.
