Greetings again. The WG's discussion of how to get authentication in HTTP/2 for http: URLs has gone in two general directions: - Include HTTP/2 headers that will indicate an upgrade path that uses TLS - Do unauthenticated encryption within HTTP/2 I have just posted draft-hoffman-httpbis-minimal-unauth-enc-00 to help spur ideas about the second option. It has some advantages and disadvantages when compared to the first option, and hopefully this lets the WG get more clarity as to which might be a more preferable mechanism to work on. (There is still another option, to define HTTP/2 only for https: URLs, but that is an orthogonal discussion.) --Paul Hoffman
