[dispatch] Fw: Enquiry about proposing a new specification at IETF

[Rahul Gupta <[e-mail]>]

Dear HTTP and Dispatch Groups,

I wish to propose a new protocol built on top of HTTP -  Per Resource Events Protocol <https://cxres.github.io/per-resource-events/protocol> for standardization with the IETF. I am hoping someone in the Dispatch or HTTP groups might guide me how to proceed. I have already made a more detailed request introducing my proposal to the ART Area Director about a fortnight ago (attached below).

I apologize about the spamming everyone, but I am hoping that at least one of you might respond.


Yours truly,
Rahul


PS: Mark: I have read your blog post recently, and seen that you are interested in extending HTTP to build an event (pub/sub) protocol. I believe my proposal will be especially of interest to you.

> Hi Francesca,

> I am writing to you in your capacity as Area Director of art at IETF. I am developing a new protocol for notifications on top of HTTP and exploring the option for its standardization at IETF. In this regard, I am hoping you might be able to guide me in the right direction.
> 

> The protocol that I am proposing is called the Per Resource Events Protocol <https://cxres.github.io/per-resource-events/protocol>, which as the names suggests allows a server to add notification capability to any resource to provide updates about its own representation changes.

> This specification is an offshoot of my contribution as a co-author on Solid Notification Protocol <https:/github.com/solid/notifications> which adds notification capabilities to Solid Pods (though SNP is universal in that it can be used by any other servers) as defined for the Solid Project <https://solidproject.org>. Per Resource Events address the similar use cases as Solid Notifications, but with a simpler but less comprehensive protocol that would be much easier to implement and to scale. There has already been a publicly expressed interest in implementation since I have uploaded my first draft on Github.

When I have previously written to the HTTP-WG mailing list with a question a few months ago, (despite multiple attempts) my e-mail was not listed. Nor did the postmaster provide an intimation for not listing the mail, as is the internal policy for the mailing list.
