Summary:
"The IETF has recently published RFC3205, "On the use of HTTP as a
Substrate" [1] as Best Current Practice.
This document makes a number of recommendations regarding
the use of HTTP. Some are reasonable, such as guidelines about
what kinds of scenarios the HTTP is most useful in, how to use
media types and methods to extend the HTTP, etc. However, it also
bases a number of recommendations on a fuzzily-defined concept of
'traditional use' of the HTTP. These directives may seriously
limit the future potential of the Web, effectively freezing its
capability to common practice in 2001."
