Re:Explicit Trusted Proxy in HTTP/2.0 on Tuesday February 25, 2014 @03:26AM (#7296330)
I understand that HTTP/2.0 needs to address both scalability and security, but the proposed "trusted" proxies smells really bad. Knowing what we know today, in that the current level of security offered by HTTP/1.1 is barely adequate to protect web citizens from real and present threats, shouldn't we be radically rethinking HTTP security.
