A recap of the third and final day of the HTTP Workshop in Basel, covering several technical presentations: MOQ (Media over QUIC) as a lower-latency alternative to HTTP live streaming, PTTH (reverse HTTP where servers send requests to clients), resumable uploads via a new IETF draft using PATCH and Location headers, io_uring's complexity in multithreaded server runtimes, Firefox's UDP networking improvements (60-90% upload throughput gains using quinn-udp in Rust), and Happy Eyeballs v3 rollout in Firefox. Shorter topics included UTF-8 in URIs, Optimistic DNS, and the history of the QUERY HTTP method. The seventh HTTP Workshop was sponsored by Adobe.
