Re: WG Last Call: draft-ietf-httpbis-connect-tcp-11 (Ends 2026-04-06)

Thanks to those who provided feedback and/or filed issues!

It looks like we have support for progressing, once the issues raised during last call are addressed.

Ben, please work on closing out these issues and making changes to the text, and publish a new version when ready. We’ll progress that version.

Best,
Tommy
