The HTTP Workshop

The HTTP Workshop is an occasional gathering of HTTP experts to discuss the Web's foundational protocol.

It is largely unstructured, promoting unfiltered discussion among the major implementers and practitioners of HTTP. We have a few "anchor" talks to stimulate discussion, but expect attendees to drive most of the agenda. Our goals are to:

• Encourage discussion and understanding between different parts of the HTTP community
• Identify areas of work or specific efforts that have common interest, to foster further work (in standards bodies and in implementations)
• Ensure broad input into future development of the protocol

Note that it is not a decision-making body; see the HTTP Working Group.

Past HTTP Workshops include:

• 2015 in Münster, DE
• 2016 in Stockholm, SE
• 2017 in London, UK
• 2019 in Amsterdam, NL

Sponsors

The HTTP Workshop would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. We extend our sincere gratitude to these organizations for their contributions to the HTTP community and their commitment to advancing web technologies.

Who Should Come

We anticipate most major HTTP implementations being represented, including browsers, servers, intermediaries, libraries, and tools.

In addition, we'd like to see active participation from practitioners at scale. If you work with large-scale HTTP deployments, whether that's serving "traditional" Web pages or using HTTP for back-end APIs, please consider attending.

Finally, if you are a student working in a relevant area, this is a great opportunity to gain insight into this community.
