"Some of the bigger players in the HTTP field have been missing from the working group
discussions and meetings. I don't want to mention any particular company or product
names here, but clearly some actors on the Internet today seem to be confident that IETF
will do good without these companies being involved..."
I haven't been following this much, who is he referring to?
- mongol 12y agoProbably Apple, there is another mention of them later on in the document.
- bsdetector 12y agoCould be. Mobile Safari uses pipelining, so for Apple there's not a lot of benefit from HTTP2. It isn't a big enough deal for them to push a new protocol, like it is to say Google that doesn't have pipelining in their browser.
- bagder 12y agoSorry, but that doesn't make a lot of sense. Pipelining is far from a replacement for HTTP/2 as the document explains a bit. Besides, Safari already supports SPDY because of this.
- billyhoffman 12y agoApple has already committed to (and rolled out support for) SPDY. If you have iOS8, your Mobile Safari can use SPDY. Presumablely they will shift to HTTP/2 as well. http://zoompf.com/blog/2014/06/spdy-coming-to-safari-future-versions-of-ie http://zoompf.com/blog/2014/06/spdy-coming-to-safari-future-...
- bch 12y ago> "clearly some actors on the Internet today seem to be confident that IETF will do good without these companies being involved" That's impossible to believe. Now I wonder -- what's the _real_ reason ?
