A QUIC Guide to the Past and Future of HTTP : Easy as 1, 2, 3
Thursday, 11:00 AM MDT - Windsor
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) has been in use for decades. Almost as soon as it was released initially, those surrounding its design began extending it to meet the needs of evolving interaction styles.
HTTP 1.1 was a huge leap forward, but there were still performance issues that were not resolved until HTTP/2.
Now, we are on the cusp of the biggest changes to date with the introduction of HTTP/3 and QUIC. Developers need to understand what is happening so they can build modern, high performance Web-based systems that benefit from the new capabilities.
You will learn about:
- How HTTP has evolved over time
- What the major innovations and limitations have been along the way
- How HTTP/2 changed Web application and API design
- How HTTP/3 and QUIC will change Web application and API design
- How the co-evolution of TLS 1.3 combines with HTTP/3 and QUIC to
modernize the secure Web
