To be fair, if we wanted to increment the value based on the emissions of every node handling the payload, it should live outside of HTTP so as to also be incremented at layers that can't decrypt TLS. But on the other hand, do those outer layers (IP packets?) even offer the ability to have custom headers that don't get discarded? Genuine question, as my protocol expertise is mostly HTTP.

- iso1631 4y agoSo the first request costs 100 units of carbon and is cached, user 1 pays 100 units. The second request then comes from the cache so is served from the cache for just 10 units. Does user 2 pay 10, or do they pay 55 and user 1 gets a rebate of 45 units?
