Presentation: "HTTP Status Report"
Time: Thursday 11:00 - 12:00
Location: Stanford
Until recently, HTTP was used for browsers to GET and POST HTML and a handful of other formats to and from Web servers, and it worked well. Recently, however, people have been finding more and more to do with it -- and not just because it can get through the firewall.
This talk will take a hard look at where HTTP is today, and what implementations are doing well (and not so well). We'll also take a look at possible futures -- good and bad -- and how HTTP might be extended and evolve.
