The IESG has received a request from the QUIC WG (quic) to consider the
following document: - 'QPACK: Header Compression for HTTP/3'
<draft-ietf-quic-qpack-19.txt> as Proposed Standard
This document is part of a combined 26-day last call for multiple
related documents that defines the QUIC protocol and the HTTP mapping
onto QUIC. The documents are:
- draft-ietf-quic-transport
- draft-ietf-quic-recovery
- draft-ietf-quic-tls
- draft-ietf-quic-invariants
- draft-ietf-quic-http
- draft-ietf-quic-qpack
Due to its GitHub-centric work style, the QUIC WG requests that LC review
comments are individually filed as issues in the WG repository at
https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts if at all possible. A summary email may
with
URLs to the individual issue should then also be sent to the relevant mailing
list
(primarily [email protected] and [email protected]).
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 2020-11-16. 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
This specification defines QPACK, a compression format for
efficiently representing HTTP fields, to be used in HTTP/3. This is
a variation of HPACK compression that seeks to reduce head-of-line
blocking.
The file can be obtained via
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-quic-qpack/
No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
The document contains these normative downward references.
See RFC 3967 for additional information:
