Proxying IP in HTTP
RFC 9484, “Proxying IP in HTTP”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2023 by T. Pauly, D. Schinazi, A. Chernyakhovsky, M. Kühlewind, M. Westerlund. It updates RFC 9298. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how to proxy IP packets in HTTP. This protocol is similar to UDP proxying in HTTP but allows transmitting arbitrary IP packets. More specifically, this document defines a protocol that allows an HTTP client to create an IP tunnel through an HTTP server that acts as an IP proxy. This document updates RFC 9298.
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.
