Hi, This is in reference to the IETF 120 session and < https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-resumable-upload-04 > Firstly, people continually reimplement this feature, so it would be nice to standardize it. I don't really have any strong opinions, but it would be nice to compare it to popular storage solutions and see if you really need all of the correct but maybe too clever HTTP mechanisms. The one thing that stuck out to me was the OPTIONS request, I thought that might be better in the TLS handshake. All of those storage servers have this, but the chunks are often very large, like 100MB. That works great if you're uploading giant files on servers. But the other thing is that your favorite social networks definitely do this in much smaller slices when you upload a photo. This is so you can take a picture, get on the subway, and it all works in a few minutes. I guess "small objects in the presence of packet loss" would be the general term. That is the same design as the storage servers, it just slices files up a lot more. thanks, Rob
