Re: GOAWAY and proxies

Roberto, can you be more specific about how the proxy and server 
interact to redirect traffic using Alt-Svc? Since in this case the 
client is speaking HTTP/1.1, are you suggesting that the proxy treat the 
Alt-Svc as a hop-by-hop feature? My understanding is that this is an 
end-to-end feature.
