Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-httpbis-connect-tcp-02.txt

This version contains several small changes:

  *   A default template is registered, as requested in HTTPBIS at IETF 118.  The text says "If the client infers that classic HTTP CONNECT is not supported, it SHOULD retry the request using the registered default template".
  *   A new section discusses the use of various headers with "connect-tcp", emphasizing that this is an ordinary origin for the purposes of headers like "Alt-Svc" and "WWW-Authenticate".
  *   The Security Considerations have been filled in.
  *   The introduction text has been adjusted to avoid the thorny question of whether classic HTTP CONNECT proxies have an "origin".

Special thanks to David Schinazi and Kazuho Oku for their input on these changes.  This version resolves all outstanding Github issues filed against this draft.

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-httpbis-connect-tcp-02.txt is now available. It is a
work item of the HTTP (HTTPBIS) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   Template-Driven HTTP CONNECT Proxying for TCP
   Author:  Benjamin M. Schwartz
   Name:    draft-ietf-httpbis-connect-tcp-02.txt
   Pages:   13
   Dates:   2023-12-07

Abstract:

   TCP proxying using HTTP CONNECT has long been part of the core HTTP
   specification.  However, this proxying functionality has several
   important deficiencies in modern HTTP environments.  This
   specification defines an alternative HTTP proxy service configuration
   for TCP connections.  This configuration is described by a URI
   Template, similar to the CONNECT-UDP and CONNECT-IP protocols.
