HTTP folks, Marc Blanchet (CC:ed) has a draft which we should be aware of: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-blanchet-dtn-http-over-bp/ In a nutshell, this is a mapping of HTTP semantics onto the "bundle protocol" as an alternative transport protocol. Bundle is designed for operation in high-delay networks (hence the WG name, Delay Tolerant Networks) such as space. Because of the types of organisations that do procurement for things like space travel, this is likely to need to be standards-track. (Marc, anything to add?) From a HTTP WG perspective, we should come to agreement about how involved we want to be in this work. At a minimum, we'll do at least one HTTPDIR review. Do people feel more is needed -- e.g., closer coordination after this is adopted by DTN? Cheers, -- Mark Nottingham https://www.mnot.net/
