Looks good to me; just a minor typo in the first sentence: 'releveant'  
should be 'relevant' :)

In addition to what Joshua and Andre said, I'd like to suggest to use  
some sort of short title after the RFC#. For example 'RFC 2617 - HTTP  
Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication' or only 'RFC  
2617 - HTTP Authentication' to keep it short. This will make it much  
easier to scan a possibly very long list...

Andre already mentioned the HTTP RFC errata listing. Additionally, I'd  
like to see the following link go in too:  
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata.html.

Another point to consider are some of the ISO specifications. I think  
we should also mention such things as
Language Codes (ISO 639, http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/),  
Country Codes (ISO 3166,  
http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code- 
lists/index.html) and also Language Tags (RFC 1766,  
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1766.txt).

BTW, you'll find a nice, pre-compiled list of HTTP related RFCs at  
http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/#RFC and the RFC search-engine at  
http://www.rfc-editor.org/cgi-bin/rfcsearch.pl is always your friend ;-)

Cheers,
Erik

Oh, and yes, please link to http instead of ftp resources.
