HTTP/3

Overview

RFC 9114, “HTTP/3”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2022 by M. Bishop. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The QUIC transport protocol has several features that are desirable in a transport for HTTP, such as stream multiplexing, per-stream flow control, and low-latency connection establishment. This document describes a mapping of HTTP semantics over QUIC. This document also identifies HTTP/2 features that are subsumed by QUIC and describes how HTTP/2 extensions can be ported to HTTP/3.
