Misattribution #149

Closed mnot closed 2 years ago

mnot commented 2 years ago

By virtue of the definition of the Capsule Protocol (see {{HTTP-DGRAM}}), unreliable CONNECT requests do not carry any message content. Similarly, successful UDP proxying responses also do not carry any message content.

That's not because of how the Capsule Protocol works -- it's how CONNECT works.

DavidSchinazi commented 2 years ago

It is how CONNECT works, though in HTTP/1.1 the Capsule Protocol doesn't use CONNECT - it uses GET and inherits this lack of message content property from the use of Upgrade. I'd be happy to write that up, but I think that relying on the definition of the Capsule Protocol might be editorially simpler?

Fair call.
