Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-httpbis-connect-tcp-06.txt

Hi HTTPBIS,

The only change in this revision is related to support for the Capsule Protocol.  This draft now defines two Upgrade Tokens: "connect-tcp" and "connect-tcp-capsule".  For details, see the diff.

The biggest question here is about which of these protocols should be mandatory to implement.  The current text says that servers must implement both, with an exception for cases where the pool of possible clients is restricted in some way.

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-httpbis-connect-tcp-06.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-06.txt
   Pages:   14
   Dates:   2024-10-21

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.
