Today, after over 5 years of work, HTTP/3 was finally standardized as RFC 9114! rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9114.ht… Together with RFC 9204 (QPACK header compression) and RFC 9218 (Extensible Priorities) it ushers in an important new chapter for the Web! Proud to have been part of this!
HTTP/2 was also updated as the new RFC 9113 rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9113.ht… mainly to remove the old prioritization system. Even HTTP/1.1 and general HTTP semantics + caching concepts were tightened up in RFCs 9110-9112. Big day for the arguably most used application layer protocol 😃
@programmingart Web3 is finally here for reals!
@programmingart Okay, wow! No more TCP? Got to learn about this QUIC thing!
@programmingart Now it’s just a question of 20 years more to have it slightly in use 😄
@programmingart How long will it take till the major FW vendors will implement it?
@programmingart @davidfowl I'm excited like a kid about this!
@programmingart #Tezos forkless blockchain will be the best option for Web3.
@programmingart So *this* is what all that Web3 stuff is about...
@programmingart Yeah it's called Lokinet.
@programmingart This is a very informative rabbit hole.
@programmingart Hi! Do browsers need to support priorities or can clients just send the Priority header in the HTTP request and it would work? (assuming the server supports priorities)
