I think that QUIC and HTTP/3 are great, but I worry that HTTP/1.1 will eventually be abandoned. I think it's important to be able to implement basic HTTP functionality with a few lines of code.
- masklinn 5y ago> I worry that HTTP/1.1 will eventually be abandoned. HTTP/2? Sure HTTP/1.1? Not a chance. It's too widespread and too valuable, and the floor is too low. Unless Google starts a singular effort against it and manages to pull in the other big cos while avoiding the ire of the liberal states, which seems unlikely.
- vbezhenar 5y agoHTTP 1 is magical. It's so simple to generate or parse. It'll never be abandoned just because of that reason.
- divbzero 5y agoYes, headers in text plus body in any content type is incredibly simple and flexible. It’s hard to imagine redesigning HTTP/1 to be any more straightforward.
- anderspitman 5y agoI sincerely hope you're right. I certainly intend to always support it on my services. But it's all too easy for me to imagine a world where Chrome/Blink drops support.
- hopesthoughts 5y agoChrome doesn't actually support RSS anyway. There are extensions for it, but it doesn't actually support it.
