There was some subsequent pushback on diluting the SHOULD. I don't think this is worth a lot of time going back and forth on -- people have the SHOULD if they need more than one connection, and our charter is focused on mitigating the misuse of the transport protocol at any rate. Closing with no action.

Alternatively, if we want to say something, drop the RFC2119 language. How about: "In typical browser cases, client will achieve better throughput by restricting themselves to a single HTTP/2 connections to each host and port pair, where host is derived from a URI, a selected alternative service [ALT-SVC], or a configured proxy." >> >> Peter might disagree with this statement. >> >> Overall, like you, I feel this is primarily an editorial issue. There are definitely reasons to open multiple connections, and clients are going to do them if they feel like they need to. But I do think it's overall good to encourage using fewer connections. I'm not going to comment any more on this because I feel like it's more bikeshedding than anything. >> >> >> That leaves the door wide open for large downloads, proxies and all the other "atypical" cases. >> >> Richard >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Mark Nottingham [mailto:mnot@mnot.net] >> Sent: 02 July 2014 06:17 >> To: HTTP Working Group >> Subject: #529: Working around concurrency limits >> >> <https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/issues/529> >> >> As I just mentioned in the issue, we already limit the requirement to a SHOULD here, allowing proxies to open more connections if they feel it necessary (and indeed, this isn't something we can really test for). >> >> Do we need to do more than that, or can we close the issue? >> >> Regards, >> >> >> -- >> Mark Nottingham https://www.mnot.net/ >> >> >> >> >> >> >> > > -- > Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/ > > > > -- Mark Nottingham https://www.mnot.net/
