I am not sure I understand the "overdue" use case, but the "web authentication" use case sounds like an ordinary captive portal; there's a proposed "capport" working group exclusively for handling captive portals (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/capport/) which might be worth visiting. The "overdue" use case might also be considered a captive portal, but I can't quite tell given the current description. In any case, it is far from clear that HTTP-specific issues should be handled at the TLS layer -- TLS is a generic secure channel protocol used in many applications other than HTTPS. -Ben Kaduk _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
