Wow, a URL redirect. Impressive. /s

If this is intended to actually be useful, you should follow the other suggestions here and add some lists (most popular) or categories (e-mail, web, routing protocols) or something.

The way it is now, I imagine it took longer to purchase the domain name than it did to code up the redirect.

Yes.

It doesn't even need an index or anything like that, as the URL to RFCs are pretty straightforward: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1738

I don't understand why people are upvoting this.

It's not very useful.
I agree, a "most common" list on the homepage would be nice. Otherwise, not useful enough to visit.
This is the plan, but given it took me seven years to get this far, please don't hold your breath. :)
The back story here is that I purchased the domain in 2010, fully intending to have the same functionality back then, and each year since as I renewed it. So your sarcasm is absolutely warranted and welcome.

It did take all of 15 minutes fiddling with a mediocre RewriteRule to get the functionality I wanted.
