This document specifies a mechanism for dictionary-based compression
in the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). By utilizing this
technique, clients and servers can reduce the size of transmitted
data, leading to improved performance and reduced bandwidth
consumption. This document extends existing HTTP compression methods
and provides guidelines for the delivery and use of compression
dictionaries within the HTTP protocol.

This document is a product of the HTTP Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
