The IESG has received a request from the HTTP WG (httpbis) to consider the following document: - 'Template-Driven HTTP CONNECT Proxying for TCP' <draft-ietf-httpbis-connect-tcp-14.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2026-10-01. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract TCP proxying using HTTP CONNECT has long been part of the core HTTP specification. However, this proxying functionality has several important deficiencies in modern HTTP environments. This specification defines an alternative HTTP proxy service configuration for TCP connections. This configuration is described by a URI Template, similar to the CONNECT-UDP and CONNECT-IP protocols. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-connect-tcp/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
