Hi, The architecture draft mentions the use of TBD header fields for passing certificate/identity information to an application. May I suggest changing that to an environment variable? - Impossible to forge with traffic, so evasion of checks - No need to register a header field name The only concern is to pass an empty or absent envvar unless a value has been validated. I made similar definitions for HTTP-SASL in Appendix A, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-vanrein-httpauth-sasl-08#name-http-server-environment-var Cheers, -Rick
