I mean now it exists and is formalized, and implementations exist, shouldn't people be being encouraged to directly use HPACK? Agreed, JSON would in retrospect be cooler than HTTP/1.x headers. But I'm surprised there is any energy to go and make more ways to send HTTP headers. Mightn't it be better to look at tweaking HPACK to have a "strict flag" or somesuch to give some of the qualities discussed here, like only one instance of each header? Otherwise HPACK is pretty nice. Apologies if I miss the point but JSON headers won't directly fly on HPACK AFAICS, unless your idea is making an uber-header and its value is the whole JSON payload. But that's needlessly incompatible when it's dealing with the same traditional headers and values HPACK already supports actually. -Andy > Best regards, Julian
