Interesting HTTP Related Papers
A mixed and incomplete list of very interesting papers. See also the HTTP-NG specific reading list with more pointers to lots
of interesting stuff - have fun!
One of the main problems of HTTP is how it performs in the Internet ar

and Replication Area to see what is going on in order to make the Web
more robust. Also have a look at our HTTP Performance page.
