I'm assuming you're talking about <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2016JanMar/0314.html>.

Sure, let's discuss it. That's a very serious accusation. Are you saying that your material has been intentionally used without proper acknowledgement?

Personally, I doubt that. What may have happened is that the text brushes up against things that you've written about in the past, and you feel that you're not adequately acknowledged. 

If that's the case, I'd observe that the IETF isn't an academic publisher, and acknowledging all prior work in an area is neither practical, nor required, nor current practice.

On the other hand, if it turns out that directing readers toward other documents (including yours) adds value, a reference might make sense.

Other people in the HTTP *and* TCP communities have commented that such a document would be very useful, whether or not it's something "new that wasn't known 20 years ago".
