Future Development of HTTP

HTTP/3 and Beyond

HTTP/3 Image

HTTP/3 is the latest version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which is currently being standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It is based on QUIC, a transport protocol that was originally developed by Google.

HTTP/3 aims to improve performance, security, and reliability compared to previous versions. It introduces features such as multiplexing, header compression, and improved connection management.

The future of HTTP will likely involve further enhancements to address the evolving needs of web applications, including better support for real-time communication, improved security measures, and more efficient data transfer mechanisms.
