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 😃
In case you want to know more about why #HTTP3 is needed and how it works, I have an in-depth article series @smashingmag : smashingmagazine.com/2021/08/http3-…
@programmingart @harshbothra_ @smashingmag Thank you 😊 for your sharing. Btw, a cool blog I didn’t know !
@programmingart @smashingmag Thanks for this amazing write up @programmingart . This is by far the best article I have read about HTTP/3 and also in general about web transport layer. I have learned a great deal from it :-)
@programmingart @smashingmag Great resource!! HTTP is also used for REST APIs and for the communication among microservices. What about HTTP/3 performances compared to gRPC (which is based on QUIC as well)?
@programmingart @smashingmag Wow! Definitely I’m going read it!
@programmingart @smashingmag Great article. It seems that this may affect layer7 firewalling capabilities, like @PaloAltoNetEMEA firewalls. Have you talked with any next generation firewall vendors during this process?
@programmingart @smashingmag something you dont mention is in china is drup udp heavily.So in china , uqic may be is very difficult to use.
