Lecture Topic: Advanced HTTP
# HTTP2
Goal is to reduce latency, but keep the same methods, status codes, and header fields. Changes how data is formatted and transmitted between clients
- Prioritises transmission of requested objects, and give a request a weight to each request to indicate priority
- Server pushes additional objects to client, by sending multiple responses to a single client request, before receiving explicit
- Head of line blocking
- Before in HTTP 1.1 the request are blocked by large requests, as objects are delivered in sequence, and a workaround is to setup multiple TCP connections to request many objects at once
- In version 2, objects are divided into *frames* and frame transmission is interleaved in a round robin fashion
# HTTP3
Improved performance even further by using streaming, by using the "QUIC" protocol over a bare UDP connection
