The HTTP Workshop
It is largely unstructured, promoting unfiltered discussion among the major implementers and practitioners of HTTP. We have a few “anchor” talks to stimulate discussion, but expect attendees to drive most of the agenda. Our goals are to:
- Encourage discussion and understanding between different parts of the HTTP community
- Identify areas of work or specific efforts that have common interest, to foster further work (in standards bodies and in implementations)
- Ensure broad input into future development of the protocol
Note that it is not a decision-making body; see the HTTP Working Group.
Past HTTP Workshops include:
- 2015 in Münster, DE
- 2016 in Stockholm, SE
- 2017 in London, UK
- 2019 in Amsterdam, NL
- 2022 in Oxford, UK
- 2024 in London, UK
Who Should Come
We anticipate most major HTTP implementations being represented, including browsers, servers, intermediaries, libraries, and tools.
In addition, we’d like to see active participation from practitioners at scale. If you work with large-scale HTTP deployments, whether that’s serving “traditional” Web pages or using HTTP for back-end APIs, please consider attending.
Finally, if you are a student working in a relevant area, this is a great opportunity to gain insight into this community.
