Comment on One of the Most Alarming Internet Proposals I've Seen

Comments

There was another article on here a week or two ago effectively blasting the http/2.0 wg for doing stupid things. I think it was the "HTTP 308 incompetence expected" article.

Now this. I'm beginning to wonder if I want anything to do with HTTP/2.0.

Perhaps you should look at the Hacker News comments on that thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7249193. Notably, my comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7249560 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7249869. Basically, the author is wrong.

Both this article and that one were impressively alarmist. Speaking as someone who has implemented a HTTP/2.0 client stack it's really nothing like as bad as either of these articles makes out.

For once, I invite you to fully read the comments on this post and the one you're referring to. Or, alternatively, take a read of the draft RFCs and the WG mailing list, which is totally open.
