Protocol version confusion #189

Closed tedidim19 closed 9 months ago

tedidim19 commented 1 year ago

Hello everybody,

Upon implementing the TUS protocol in our API, we ran into this version: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-tus-httpbis-resumable-uploads-protocol-00.html#name-authors-addresses and there has been a bit of a confusion what is this protocol, are they related, etc?

Thank you in advance for you response!

Hi!

The protocol you are linking to is the next version of the tus spec. We are working with the IETF to make this a http standard. The latest version of the IETF draft spec can be found here and it explains the difference pretty well:

The tus v1 protocol (https://tus.io/) is a specification for a resumable file upload protocol over HTTP. It inspired the early design of this protocol. Members of the tus community helped significantly in the process of bringing this work to the IETF.

Hope it clears it up!

There is also this blog post now, which helps understand the relationship between the two protocols: https://tus.io/blog/2023/08/09/resumable-uploads-ietf In a nutshell: the work from the IETF is the part from tus we are trying to standardize.
