The IESG has received a request from the HTTP WG (httpbis) to consider the following document: - 'Window Sizing for Zstandard Content Encoding' <draft-ietf-httpbis-zstd-window-size-01.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2024-08-06. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Deployments of Zstandard, or "zstd", can use different window sizes to limit memory usage during compression and decompression. Some browsers and user agents limit window sizes to mitigate memory usage concerns, causing interoperability issues. This document updates the window size limit in RFC8878 from a recommendation to a requirement in HTTP contexts. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-zstd-window-size/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
