# COMMENTS (non-blocking)

## What about HTTP3 ?

Is HTTP/3 (RFC 9114) so different to HTTP1/HTTP2 that it is not included in this I-D ?

## Section 2.1.2.1

Having a module only using basic authentication seems *very* restrictive in 2024... I would have expected the WG to specify a YANG module supporting other authentication scheme.

Thank you for addressing my DISCUSS and COMMENT feedback.

Feedback from Orie Steele, incoming ART AD:

eaf server-name {
      nacm:default-deny-write;
      type string;
      description
        "The value of the 'Server' header field.  If not set, then
         underlying software's default value is used.  Set to the
         empty string to disable.";
    }
   
I'm not a YANG expert, is "type string" shorthand for "UTF-8 string" ?

I don't see any ART review, are there any i18n issues expected with this document?

I support Roman's DISCUSS

Thanks for working on this specification. This looks good to me from transport protocol point of view.

I have following comment and I believe if addressed properly, it will improve the document quality -

# Section 1 says -

     It is intended that these groupings will be used to help define the configuration for simple HTTP-based protocols (not for complete web servers or browsers).

  I would like to see some examples of the "simple HTTP-based protocols" - the words in parenthesis does not help the distinction. The motivation and usage of this protocol should be specified clearly.
