The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Compression Dictionary Transport' (draft-ietf-httpbis-compression-dictionary-19.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the HTTP Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Zaheduzzaman Sarker and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-compression-dictionary/ Technical Summary This specification defines a mechanism for using designated HTTP responses as an external dictionary for future HTTP responses for compression schemes that support using external dictionaries (e.g., Brotli (RFC 7932) and Zstandard (RFC 8878)). Working Group Summary The working group consensus reached fairly broad agreement. There was some discussion of how many compression algorithms to include. Although there were diverse opinions, we converged on the approach taken in the draft. No appeal was threatened or otherwise extreme discontent indicated. Document Quality Chrome has implemented on the client side, and several parties have indicated interest and/or intent to implement on the server side. There are browser-specific implementation considerations that have been coordinated with the W3C and WHATWG. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Mark Nottingham. The Responsible Area Director is Francesca Palombini.
