Re: [Wish] WHIP should also allow *media* to be sent over the HTTPS connection

Hi ross,

The Working group has been chartered to work on a pretty focussed problem:

"to specify a simple, extensible, HTTPS-based signaling protocol to
establish one-way WebRTC-based audiovisual sessions between broadcasting
tools and real-time media broadcast networks."

There are more concrete example of the use cases being addressed in the
full charter here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/wish/about/

Media management is entirely delegated to the RTCWEB specifications. In
particular, the use of ICE, and the use of DTLS-SRTP are mandatory. For
clarification, the use of JSEP, SDP, SDP O/A are also all mandatory.

One should see WHIP as the missing signalling transport protocol, a
companion to existing specification, in the very specific use case of one
to one, unidirectional sessions: duplex sessions, as needed for video
conferencing for example, are out of scope,

In your case, you could either use your solution at application level, or,
since it touches on media, bring your proposal to the RTCWEB working group
where it seems it could be more in scope. Eventually, only the chairs of
the RTCWEB group can rule on that last point.
