The IESG has received a request from the HTTP WG (httpbis) to consider the
following document: - 'Window Sizing for Zstandard Content Encoding'
  <draft-ietf-httpbis-zstd-window-size-01.txt> as Informational RFC

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 2024-08-06. Exceptionally, comments may

Abstract


   Deployments of Zstandard, or "zstd", can use different window sizes
   to limit memory usage during compression and decompression.  Some
   browsers and user agents limit window sizes to mitigate memory usage
   concerns, causing interoperability issues.  This document updates the
   window size limit in RFC8878 from a recommendation to a requirement
   in HTTP contexts.
