As I am sure you are aware, some registries currently uses HTTPS, like .IT and .PL at least. It may be a good idea, if not already, to try sharing discussions with them and see if you can converge on something, if you are planning to do a standard. You may also be aware that when EPP itself was drafted they were then multiple other proposals for transport, besides TLS. There was at least SMTP if I recall correctly and BXXP (BEEP) which I think does not really exist anymore but it looks like to me that many of its features are also present nowadays in HTTP/2. Maybe there are some ideas to grab from these past attempts, the documents themselves or the discussions. > As a > registrar, we'd love to be able to work with registries using HTTP as the > transport protocol in the future. I am curious, why particularly prefering HTTP over TCP (or more precisely HTTPS over TLS)? Did you tak time already to document the differences with TCP, in the realm of EPP, what are the benefits and the drawbacks? > Note that the current version of this draft deals solely with EPP over HTTP > 1.1, it does not consider HTTP 2 at this time. (I did not look at your code/document yet). Why is it so? Just a lack of time or some specific reason against HTTP/2? If there anything that works with HTTP/1.1 but not /2 it should be documented. As nowadays, for new works, I think it is best to concentrate on the newer versions of other standards when you do a layering (hence HTTP/2) instead of forcing retro-compatibilies, except if good reasons for that of course, this is what I am curious about. -- Patrick Mevzek _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
