The IESG has received a request from the BiDirectional or Server-Initiated HTTP WG (hybi) to consider the following document: - 'The WebSocket protocol' <draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-07-25. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The WebSocket protocol enables two-way communication between a client running untrusted code running in a controlled environment to a remote host that has opted-in to communications from that code. The security model used for this is the Origin-based security model commonly used by Web browsers. The protocol consists of an opening handshake followed by basic message framing, layered over TCP. The goal of this technology is to provide a mechanism for browser-based applications that need two-way communication with servers that does not rely on opening multiple HTTP connections (e.g. using XMLHttpRequest or <iframe>s and long polling). Please send feedback to the hybi@ietf.org mailing list. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
