Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-httpbis-resumable-upload-08.txt

Dear working group,

we just published an updated version of "Resumable Uploads for HTTP" based
in feedback we received after IETF 122. It clarifies the server's handling
when the request content of an upload append request exceeds the upload
length. The draft no longer recommends the client to not retry/resume the
upload after 4xx responses, allowing retries after a 429 or 421 status if
desired. In addition, the security considerations regarding upload resource
URIs and representation metadata have been extended.

With the closure of https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/2962
following the discussion at the IETF meeting, there are currently no more
open issues for this document. Hence, we believe this draft is ready for a
WGLC.

Best regards
Marius
