Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-httpbis-resumable-upload-05.txt

Dear working group,

we recently published a new revision of the draft for resumable uploads. It
includes the feedback from IETF 120 and additional clarifications:

   - Allow clients to fetch upload limits upfront via OPTIONS.
   - Add Upload-Length header to indicate total length when upload is
   started.
   - Describe interaction with Want-Repr-Digest from RFC 9530.
   - Clarify implications of some limits in Upload-Limit header.
   - Add guidance for different upload creation strategies.

With these changes, we believe that the draft includes everything essential
to enable resumable uploads and is nearing its completion. That being said,
the document has grown organically over time and is not the easiest to
read. Thus, we would like to give it an editorial pass soon.

Best regards,
Marius Kleidl
