Dear Intarians,
I'm working on a new draft: Web Proxy Auto Discovery Next Generation (WPADNG).[1] WPADNG is an update to WPAD OG from the dinosaur times. The approach I started with was to update it piecemeal, and solicit feedback on how to update (or remove) the other sections. The first change I made is to replace the old SVRLOC/TXT sections with DNSSD. Feedback is welcome on that section. Going forward, I am looking for feedback from the community on: * If any new scenarios that have emerged over the last 25yrs that need to be covered * Understanding current IT Admin practices to help identify those * New discovery mechanisms to be included * New config file formats to be references such as PVD * Suggestions on modernization to fit in with now widely adopted technologies such as IPv6 For those seeking a "catch up", I sent a writeup on the origins of WPAD from back in the day: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/int-area/IHzF0V7nPNlfgQjiU7utUo85ngU/ [1] Here's a new WPADNG draft I am working on. Unfortunately I didn't make the submission deadline https://joshco.github.io/wpadng/draft-joshco-wpadng.html -- --- *Josh Co*hen
