Datatracker does not provide access to the XML version of drafts once they have become RFC. This may have never ben the case, but it was provided for on tools.ietf.org, so users could easily access XML of drafts via their tools.ietf.org web page. Since this year, those URLs redirect to datatracker, where this is not possible anymore.

Example:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane/27/
There is no link to the XML of this document to be found on this page. Nevertheless, it does of course exist:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane-27.xml

Note that this problem only applies to documents that have turned RFC. Before they are RFC, dataracker correctly shows the XML links, e.g.:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-cache-16

The html'ized renderings of RFC since the new RFC formatting are missing hotlinks from the section numbers in the TOC to the sections. The tags for those missing hotlinks still exist, and the section titles still use them.

Example:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8994

Table of Contents
1. Introduction (Informative)
^^ No hotlink

Compare to older RFC:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7994
Table of Contents
1. Introduction .................................2
^^ Hotlink

These hotlinks would be the only option to navigate from TOC to a section in question.

Issue migrated from trac:3308 at 2022-03-04 08:43:11 +0000

This is because datatracker looks at the path defined in settings.INTERNET_DRAFT_PATH for 'txt', 'html', 'xml', 'pdf' and 'ps' formats of IDs.
But when a draft is expired it's moved from settings.INTERNET_DRAFT_PATH to path defined in settings.INTERNET_DRAFT_ARCHIVE_DIR.

I assume fix for this issue and #3309 is using settings.INTERNET_DRAFT_ARCHIVE_DIR for the expired drafts.

NOTE: pdf (only if file is not found in the settings.INTERNET_DRAFT_PATH), htmlized and bibtex entries get artificially injected for IDs.

The right thing to do is always use INTERNET_DRAFT_ARCHIVE_DIR for this view - the current versions of the draft are already in the archive. The view will do the right thing when looking at older versions as well.
