Re: Getting to Consensus on 1xx Status Codes (#535)

My preference is for 100 support.  Julian'd draft looks ok except that it
excludes support for 100.   I'm fine with it excluding support for 101 and
102.

If 100 had been deprecated in rfc723x, then I'd would have lived with
dropping it better, as I could have just dropped it entirely from the
server and referred broken applications to the RFC.   But it is not
deprecated for current h1 usage, so end points that will support both h1/h2
will need to have 100 continue support anyway.  Making it dependent on the
transport probably increases the complexity rather than decreases it.

So I could live with b) if that document is targeted to both h1 and h2, so
there is some prospect that we can drop support entirely in a few
years.

regards
