HTTP Partial POST Replay

Hi, I submitted an individual draft describing our work on HTTP Partial POST Replay.  I initially presented this work at the HTTP Workshop in April.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-frindell-httpbis-partial-post-replay/


The TL;DR is that when a webserver behind a cooperating intermediary wants to shut down but has received only part of a POST request, it can return that request in the response, and the intermediary will pick a different server to handle it.  This process is transparent to the client.

Any comments, questions or other feedback welcome!

Thanks

-Alan
