Hi HTTPers,

Forwarding along a draft that I recently posted to the MASQUE and INTAREA lists, that may be of interest to those here.

> 
> - Discover URLs (and URL templates) of HTTP proxies such as MASQUE proxies that are provided by a network. This allows ISP and carrier networks to advertise proxies they support, which is useful for clients to learn about proxies they could use a first hop of a chain of privacy proxies, or for solutions like AT-SSS in 3GPP.
> - Associate a PvD with an HTTP proxy to learn which subset of domains it might support, and other related proxies. This allows proxies to support “split DNS” configurations.
> 
> Note that this would allow us to have a standard way to replace some of the functionality that WPAD and PAC files are used for otherwise. 
> 
> I’d like to present this at IETF 117 to both the INTAREA and MASQUE groups, if possible.
