Re: HTTPBIS summary for IETF 119

[Mark Nottingham <[e-mail]>]

Ah - I see it went unencrypted to the mailing list; never mind my previous message.

Regarding your question below - Tommy and I have talked about it, but we don't think there's been enough discussion or interest to justify a CfA. While there is some amount of interest in the larger topics here, it's still not clear what the best starting point is, or whether there is enough interest in the community to pursue it. I think a better understanding of the use cases, constraints, and design choices in this space could clarify that. 

Cheers,

While I have not been able to do much work on it, I am in the process of publishing an express middleware this week itself and updating the draft with that information (and minor fixes primarily circumventing the lack of nesting in structured fields).

Today, HTTP/3 runs on QUIC, and HTTP/2 runs on TLS+TCP, but this is a proposal to run HTTP/3 over TLS+TCP as well. If you’re interested in this discussion, please join the meetings!
