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.
