RESUMABLE: stopping a request in mid-transfer has some version-specific complexities

Open LPardue opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

During WGLC review, @MikeBishop raised the following issue on https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2025JulSep/0123.html

In 4.2.1, stopping a request in mid-transfer has some version-specific complexities. See in particular this recent thread on the HTTP mailing list: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2025JulSep/0088.html. A reference to specific mechanisms for doing so might be useful to an implementer, even if not formally a requirement for this spec.

@MikeBishop I'm wondering if it might make sense to address the issuing of stopping a request more generally (rather than just his section) alongside text I've proposed in https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/pull/3232 (which is in the intro)
