HTTP/3 is the next coming HTTP version

Daniel Stenberg explains HTTP/3 and QUIC at GOTO 10, January 22, 2019.

HTTP/3 is the designated name for the coming next version of the protocol that is currently under development within the QUIC working group in the IETF.

HTTP/3 is designed to improve in areas where HTTP/2 still has some shortcomings, primarily by changing the transport layer. HTTP/3 is the first major protocol to step away from TCP and instead it uses QUIC.

Why the new protocols are deemed necessary, how they work, how they change how things are sent over the network and what some of the coming deployment challenges will be.

As you will see in this film, there are a lot of questions from an interested and educated audience.

Daniel Stenberg is the founder and lead developer of the curl project. He has worked on HTTP implementations for over twenty years. He has been involved in the HTTPbis working group in IETF for ten years and he worked with HTTP in Firefox for years before he left Mozilla. He participates in the QUIC working group and is the author of the widely read documents ”HTTP2 explained” and ”HTTP/3 explained”.

This presentation is held in English.

Good talk! I've been reading bits and pieces about http3 and quic development but this clarified things.
