Re: HTTPBIS summary for IETF 119

[Rahul Gupta <[e-mail]>]

Hi Tommy and Mark,

Just a polite reminder that PREP is still an active draft. 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).

While both open source servers (CSS and NSS) in Solid are looking to implement PREP, implementation is only starting about now, with the first meeting scheduled next week.

I would appreciate it if you could mention this in the Friday session and perhaps gauge/give me guidance of the interest in the group in adopting PREP and what I might do to hasten the process.

Thanks in advance,

BR/Rahul

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!
