PTTH (aka Reverse HTTP) BoF in Madrid

Hi HTTP enthusiasts,

I'm happy to announce that we will be holding the PTTH (aka Reverse HTTP)
BoF in Madrid. Our main goal there will be to establish whether we should
pursue this work, and if so, where. Since one of the potential outcomes is
to fold this work into HTTP, our AD has asked us to use the HTTP mailing
list to discuss this topic until the BoF.

More details on the topic of the BoF can be found at [1], but in a nutshell
the idea would be to enable use cases where the HTTP server lives at the
client end of the transport-layer connection.

You're all invited to the BoF, but until then we'd like to have a mailing
list discussion around such use cases. Are you aware of some? Do you think
there is a gap in our protocol offerings to enable those use cases? If so,
what requirements would you have on a potential new solution in this space?

There are multiple drafts in this solution space, but for now we're
intentionally seeking discussion on use cases and requirements. Our goal is
to figure out the scope of this potential new work.

Thanks,

David, PTTH BoF co-chair
