I thought this was moderately-funny cheeky banter, but I wanted to see what implementation decision they were making fun of with this silly misrepresentain. Quote RFC 7541: "The static table was created from the most frequent header fields used by popular web sites." Oh.
- grey-area 6y agoWhy do you think that is a bad header compression scheme for a static protocol where the majority of traffic contains those headers/values repeated over and over? That indexed table shaves about 30% off header size. https://www.keycdn.com/blog/http2-hpack-compression https://www.keycdn.com/blog/http2-hpack-compression
