RFC about the draft "An HTTP/2 Extension for Bidirectional Message Communication"

Hello everyone,

We put together an HTTP/2 extension ID(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xie-bidirectional-messaging-02).  It is  based on our implementation and operation experience on using HTTP/2 for a bidirectional communication protocol.  Compared to other solutions (long polling, WebSocket etc), this extension can better leverage existing HTTP/2 optimizations.   Additionally, it is not difficult to implement in practice.

We want to start the discussion before the Montreal meeting, and gauge community interests in this ID. We welcome comments on the extension design itself, and your potential use cases.

Regards,


Woo, Alan and Eric
