This message starts a WG Last Call for:
draft-ietf-httpbis-connect-tcp-11

This Working Group Last Call ends on 2026-04-06

Abstract:
   TCP proxying using HTTP CONNECT has long been part of the core HTTP
   specification.  However, this proxying functionality has several
   important deficiencies in modern HTTP environments.  This
   specification defines an alternative HTTP proxy service configuration
   for TCP connections.  This configuration is described by a URI
   Template, similar to the CONNECT-UDP and CONNECT-IP protocols.
