One of the biggest deficiencies in HTTP/1.x is the lack of a "session" concept, which lead to the Cookie-Hack with all its pessimizing and privacy-violating issues. Even if used right (one cryptosigned session-identifier, all actual data stored serverside) it has the sideeffect of blanket disabling caching. HTTP/2.0 should do better. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
