Hi,

This is a question that I have been looking to understand for some time, and I am hoping that since this is IETF week, someone might indulge me!

Where does the media-type `application/http` in RFC9112 come from? Where is it used? And are there any examples of its use in the wild?

Suffice to say that I have looked around quite a bit to no avail, hence I am asking.

Thanks in advance to all the folks who can point me in the right direction,

BR/Rahul
