Oblivious HTTP
RFC 9458, “Oblivious HTTP”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2024 by M. Thomson, C. A. Wood. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes Oblivious HTTP, a protocol for forwarding encrypted HTTP messages. Oblivious HTTP allows a client to make multiple requests to an origin server without that server being able to link those requests to the client or to identify the requests as having come from the same client, while placing only limited trust in the nodes used to forward the messages.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
