The IESG has received a request from the HTTP WG (httpbis) to consider the following document: - 'Security Considerations for Optimistic Protocol Transitions in HTTP/1.1' <draft-ietf-httpbis-optimistic-upgrade-05.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2025-09-05. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract In HTTP/1.1, the client can request a change to a new protocol on the existing connection. This document discusses the security considerations that apply to data sent by the client before this request is confirmed, and updates RFC 9112 and RFC 9298 to avoid related security issues. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-optimistic-upgrade/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
