Abstract

   An increasing diversity of Web-connected devices and software
   capabilities has created a need to deliver optimized content for each
   device.

   This specification defines an extensible and configurable set of HTTP
   request header fields, colloquially known as Client Hints, to address
   this.  They are intended to be used as input to proactive content
   negotiation; just as the Accept header field allows user agents to
   indicate what formats they prefer, Client Hints allow user agents to
   indicate device and agent specific preferences.

1.  Introduction

   There are thousands of different devices accessing the web, each with
   different device capabilities and preference information.  These
   device capabilities include hardware and software characteristics, as
   well as dynamic user and client preferences.

   One way to infer some of these capabilities is through User-Agent
   (Section 5.5.3 of [RFC7231]) header field detection against an
   established database of client signatures.  However, this technique
   requires acquiring such a database, integrating it into the serving
   path, and keeping it up to date.  However, even once this
   infrastructure is deployed, user agent sniffing has numerous
   limitations:

   o  User agent detection cannot reliably identify all static variables
   o  User agent detection cannot infer any dynamic client preferences
   o  User agent detection requires an external device database
   o  User agent detection is not cache friendly

   A popular alternative strategy is to use HTTP cookies ([RFC6265]) to
   communicate some information about the user agent.  However, this
   approach is also not cache friendly, bound by same origin policy, and
   imposes additional client-side latency by requiring JavaScript
   execution to create and manage HTTP cookies.

   This document defines a set of new request header fields that allow
   user agent to perform proactive content negotiation (Section 3.4.1 of
   [RFC7231]) by indicating device and agent specific preferences,
   through a mechanism similar to the Accept header field which is used
   to indicate preferred response formats.

   Client Hints does not supersede or replace the User-Agent header
   field.  Existing device detection mechanisms can continue to use both
   mechanisms if necessary.  By advertising its capabilities within a
   request header field, Client Hints allows for cache friendly and
   proactive content negotiation.

1.1.  Notational Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   This document uses the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) notation of
   [RFC5234] with the list rule extension defined in [RFC7230],
   Appendix B.  It includes by reference the DIGIT rule from [RFC5234]
   and the OWS and field-name rules from [RFC7230].

2.  Client Hint Request Header Fields

   A Client Hint request header field is a HTTP header field that is
   used by HTTP clients to indicate configuration data that can be used
   by the server to select an appropriate response.  Each one conveys
   client preferences that the server can use to adapt and optimize the
   response.

2.1.  Sending Client Hints

   Clients control which Client Hints are sent in requests, based on
   their default settings, user configuration, and server preferences.
   The client and server can use an opt-in mechanism outlined below to
   negotiate which fields should be sent to allow for efficient content
   adaption, and optinally use additional mechanisms to negotiate
   delegation policies that control access of third parties to same
   fields.

   Implementers should be aware of the passive fingerprinting and
   network information disclosure implications when implementing support
   for Client Hints, and follow the considerations outlined in "Security
   Considerations" section of this document.

2.2.  Server Processing of Client Hints

   When presented with a request that contains one or more client hint
   header fields, servers can optimize the response based upon the
   information in them.  When doing so, and if the resource is
   cacheable, the server MUST also generate a Vary response header field
   (Section 7.1.4 of [RFC7231]) to indicate which hints can affect the
   selected response and whether the selected response is appropriate
   for a later request.

   Further, depending on the hint used, the server can generate
   additional response header fields to convey related values to aid

Internet-Draft              HTTP Client Hints               January 2018


   client processing.  For example, this specification defines the
   "Content-DPR" response header field that needs to be returned by the
   server when the "DPR" hint is used to select the response.

2.2.1.  Advertising Support via Accept-CH Header Field

   Servers can advertise support for Client Hints using the Accept-CH
   header field or an equivalent HTML meta element with http-equiv
   attribute ([HTML5]).

     Accept-CH = #field-name

   For example:

     Accept-CH: DPR, Width, Viewport-Width

   When a client receives an HTTP response advertising support for
   Client Hints, it should process it as origin ([RFC6454]) opt-in to
   receive Client Hint header fields advertised in the field-value.  The
   opt-in MUST be delivered over a secure transport.

   For example, based on Accept-CH example above, a user agent could
   append DPR, Width, and Viewport-Width header fields to all same-
   origin resource requests initiated by the page constructed from the
   response.

2.2.2.  The Accept-CH-Lifetime Header Field

   Servers can ask the client to remember the set of Client Hints that
   the server supports for a specified period of time, to enable
   delivery of Client Hints on subsequent requests to the server's
   origin ([RFC6454]).

     Accept-CH-Lifetime = #delta-seconds

   When a client receives an HTTP response that contains Accept-CH-
   Lifetime header field, the field-value indicates that the Accept-CH
   preference SHOULD be persisted and bound to the origin, and be
   considered stale after response's age ([RFC7234], section 4.2) is
   greater than the specified number of seconds.  The preference MUST be
   delivered over a secure transport, and MUST NOT be persisted for an
   origin that isn't HTTPS.

     Accept-CH: DPR, Width
     Accept-CH: Viewport-Width
     Accept-CH-Lifetime: 86400

Internet-Draft              HTTP Client Hints               January 2018


   For example, based on the Accept-CH and Accept-CH-Lifetime example
   above, which is received from "https://bar.example.com" in response
   to a resource request initiated by "https://foo.example.com", both
   delivered over a secure transport: a user agent SHOULD persist an
   Accept-CH preference bound to "https://foo.example.com", for requests
   initiated to "https://bar.example.com" from
   "https://foo.example.com", for up to 86400 seconds (1 day).  This
   preference SHOULD NOT extend to requests initiated to
   "https://bar.example.com" from other origins.

   If Accept-CH-Lifetime occurs in a message more than once, the last
   value overrides all previous occurrences.

2.2.3.  Interaction with Caches

   When selecting an optimized response based on one or more Client
   Hints, and if the resource is cacheable, the server needs to generate
   a Vary response header field ([RFC7234]) to indicate which hints can
   affect the selected response and whether the selected response is
   appropriate for a later request.

     Vary: DPR

   Above example indicates that the cache key needs to include the DPR
   header field.

     Vary: DPR, Width

   Above example indicates that the cache key needs to include the DPR
   and Width header fields.

3.  Client Hints

3.1.  The DPR Header Field

   The "DPR" request header field is a number that indicates the
   client's current Device Pixel Ratio (DPR), which is the ratio of
   physical pixels over CSS px (Section 5.2 of [CSSVAL]) of the layout
   viewport (Section 9.1.1 of [CSS2]) on the device.

     DPR = 1*DIGIT [ "." 1*DIGIT ]

   If DPR occurs in a message more than once, the last value overrides
   all previous occurrences.

Internet-Draft              HTTP Client Hints               January 2018


3.1.1.  Confirming Selected DPR

   The "Content-DPR" response header field is a number that indicates
   the ratio between physical pixels over CSS px of the selected image
   response.

     Content-DPR = 1*DIGIT [ "." 1*DIGIT ]

   DPR ratio affects the calculation of intrinsic size of image
   resources on the client - i.e. typically, the client automatically
   scales the natural size of the image by the DPR ratio to derive its
   display dimensions.  As a result, the server MUST explicitly indicate
   the DPR of the selected image response whenever the DPR hint is used,
   and the client MUST use the DPR value returned by the server to
   perform its calculations.  In case the server returned Content-DPR
   value contradicts previous client-side DPR indication, the server
   returned value MUST take precedence.

   Note that DPR confirmation is only required for image responses, and
   the server does not need to confirm the resource width as this value
   can be derived from the resource itself once it is decoded by the
   client.

   If Content-DPR occurs in a message more than once, the last value
   overrides all previous occurrences.

3.2.  The Width Header Field

   The "Width" request header field is a number that indicates the
   desired resource width in physical px (i.e. intrinsic size of an
   image).  The provided physical px value is a number rounded to the
   smallest following integer (i.e. ceiling value).

     Width = 1*DIGIT

   If the desired resource width is not known at the time of the request
   or the resource does not have a display width, the Width header field
   can be omitted.  If Width occurs in a message more than once, the
   last value overrides all previous occurrences.

3.3.  The Viewport-Width Header Field

   The "Viewport-Width" request header field is a number that indicates
   the layout viewport width in CSS px.  The provided CSS px value is a
   number rounded to the smallest following integer (i.e. ceiling
   value).

     Viewport-Width = 1*DIGIT

Internet-Draft              HTTP Client Hints               January 2018


   If Viewport-Width occurs in a message more than once, the last value
   overrides all previous occurrences.

3.4.  The Save-Data Header Field

   The "Save-Data" request header field consists of one or more tokens
   that indicate client's preference for reduced data usage, due to high
   transfer costs, slow connection speeds, or other reasons.

     Save-Data = sd-token *( OWS ";" OWS [sd-token] )
     sd-token = token

   This document defines the "on" sd-token value, which is used as a
   signal indicating explicit user opt-in into a reduced data usage mode
   on the client, and when communicated to origins allows them to
   deliver alternate content honoring such preference - e.g. smaller
   image and video resources, alternate markup, and so on.  New token
   and extension token values can be defined by updates to this
   specification.

   If Save-Data occurs in a message more than once, the last value
   overrides all previous occurrences.

4.  Examples

   For example, given the following request header fields:

     DPR: 2.0
     Width: 320
     Viewport-Width: 320

   The server knows that the device pixel ratio is 2.0, that the
   intended display width of the requested resource is 160 CSS px (320
   physical pixels at 2x resolution), and that the viewport width is 320
   CSS px.

   If the server uses above hints to perform resource selection for an
   image asset, it must confirm its selection via the Content-DPR
   response header to allow the client to calculate the appropriate
   intrinsic size of the image response.  The server does not need to
   confirm resource width, only the ratio between physical pixels and
   CSS px of the selected image resource:

     Content-DPR: 1.0

   The Content-DPR response header field indicates to the client that
   the server has selected resource with DPR ratio of 1.0.  The client
   can use this information to perform additional processing on the

Internet-Draft              HTTP Client Hints               January 2018


   resource - for example, calculate the appropriate intrinsic size of
   the image resource such that it is displayed at the correct
   resolution.

5.  Security Considerations

   The request header fields defined in this specification, and those
   that extend it, expose information about the user's environment to
   enable proactive content negotiation.  Such information may reveal
   new information about the user and implementers ought to consider the
   following considerations, recommendations, and best practices.

   Transmitted Client Hints header fields SHOULD NOT provide new
   information that is otherwise not available to the application via
   other means, such as using HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.  Further,
   sending highly granular data, such as image and viewport width may
   help identify users across multiple requests.  Reducing the set of
   field values that can be expressed, or restricting them to an
   enumerated range where the advertised value is close but is not an
   exact representation of the current value, can improve privacy and
   reduce risk of linkability by ensuring that the same value is sent by
   multiple users.  However, such precautions can still be insufficient
   for some types of data, especially data that can change over time.

   Implementers ought to consider both user and server controlled
   mechanisms and policies to control which Client Hints header fields
   are advertised:

   o  Implementers SHOULD restrict delivery of some or all Client Hints
      header fields to the opt-in origin only, unless the opt-in origin
      has explicitly delegated permission to another origin to request
      Client Hints header fields.
   o  Implementers MAY provide user choice mechanisms so that users may
      balance privacy concerns with bandwidth limitations.  However,
      implementers should also be aware that explaining the privacy
      implications of passive fingerprinting or network information
      disclosure to users may be challenging.
   o  Implementations specific to certain use cases or threat models MAY
      avoid transmitting some or all of Client Hints header fields.  For
      example, avoid transmission of header fields that can carry higher
      risks of linkability.

   Implementers SHOULD support Client Hints opt-in mechanisms and MUST
   clear persisted opt-in preferences when site data, browsing history,
   browsing cache, or similar, are cleared.

Appendix A.  Interaction with Key Response Header Field

   Client Hints may be combined with Key response header field ([KEY])
   to enable fine-grained control of the cache key for improved cache
   efficiency.  For example, the server can return the following set of
   instructions:

     Key: DPR;partition=1.5:2.5:4.0

   Above example indicates that the cache key needs to include the value
   of the DPR header field with three segments: less than 1.5, 1.5 to
   less than 2.5, and 4.0 or greater.

     Key: Width;div=320

   Above example indicates that the cache key needs to include the value
   of the Width header field and be partitioned into groups of 320:
   0-320, 320-640, and so on.
