I recently came across IETF draft "P2P Extensions to HTTP" which could be useful in many scenarios. This may affect your API, so it may be worth considering.

I wrote up some details here: https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/3757 From that you will find a link to an issue on Quick, i.e. HTTP/3 which has a lot of documentation on it.

Thanks. HTTP/3 is still fairly bleeding edge.

I would rather to see us pour effort into HTTP/2 first. We have little-used support in the blaze-server, and jetty-server gets it for free. But this should be on our radar, as it will become increasingly important.
