draft-ietf-httpbis-resumable-upload-01

Hi,

Firstly, this is the right idea. Every social network does something
similar, because image and video uploads succeed over slow and unreliable
networks at a much higher rate. Big operators like AWS have also have a
similar feature for much larger chunks, like 1MB+.

I think the solution is a bit too low-level in HTTP terms. The working
solutions I've seen use POST and something like the mechanisms in the
draft-ietf-httpbis-digest-headers-13. This is because the message integrity
properties that come with TLS are lost when combining chunks.

thanks,
Rob
