Protocol Developments: HTTP

HTTP



• HTTP/1.1: Performance benefits e.g. better support for caching
• HTTP/NG: Radical redesign to enable applications (e.g. legacy applications, new applications such as distributed searching) to be easily integrated with the web

Solutions will emerge as server and client support becomes available

Proxies (e.g. web caches) may provide initial support

NOTE: Newer browsers support HTTP/1.1
