PHK simultaneously complains that HTTP/2 doesn't go far enough e.g. replace cookies with a stateful mechanism, while also complaining the header compression and other mechanisms in HTTP/2 introduce the requirement for the server to maintain state.
PHK also refers to HTTP/2 as a political protocol and casts various aspertions about those promoting it but you need to remember that PHK isn't a neutral observer - Varnish does't support TLS yet (though PHK is very clear on why this is the case).

Sounds valid to me. Either retain state or don't.
- youngtaff 12y agoMaybe but changing the state semantics on the client is more work than just changing the protocol stack. I suspect it will come in time but I'd argue it's better to develop incrementally rather than a big bang approach, and there's plenty in HTTP/2 to allow further improvement.
