Re: Call for adoption: draft-nottingham-httpbis-pre-denied-00 (Ends 2026-04-03)

Hello HTTP,

As discussed at the meeting yesterday, we’re starting a call for adoption on draft-nottingham-httpbis-pre-denied. 

Please respond to this email to indicate if you support adoption, within two weeks from today.

From the discussion at the meeting, we expect there to be a fair bit of bike-shedding over the specific name of the status code. If you have opinions, feel free to put them out, but focus the adoption question on the general solution.

Best,
Tommy
