	Title           : HTTP Origin and Hop Hints
	Author(s)       : Mark Nottingham
	Filename        : draft-nottingham-http-browser-hints-05.txt

Abstract:
   Over time, HTTP clients -- especially Web browsers -- have adapted
   how they use the protocol based upon common server configurations and
   behaviours.  While this is necessary in the common case, it can be
   detrimental for performance and interoperability.

   This document establishes a mechanism whereby both origin servers and
   intermediaries can make hints available to clients about their
   preferences and capabilities, without imposing undue overhead on
   their interactions or requiring support for them.

   This is intended to allow clients to safely optimise connections to
   servers.
