Title : HTTP Client Hints
Authors : Ilya Grigorik
Yoav Weiss
Filename : draft-ietf-httpbis-client-hints-15.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 2020-07-03
Abstract:
HTTP defines proactive content negotiation to allow servers to select
the appropriate response for a given request, based upon the user
agent's characteristics, as expressed in request headers. In
practice, user agents are often unwilling to send those request
headers, because it is not clear whether they will be used, and
sending them impacts both performance and privacy.
This document defines an Accept-CH response header that servers can
use to advertise their use of request headers for proactive content
negotiation, along with a set of guidelines for the creation of such
headers, colloquially known as "Client Hints."
