Transition Request

WebSub

Staged draft for publication:

Abstract

WebSub provides a common mechanism for communication between publishers of any kind of Web content and their subscribers, based on HTTP web hooks. Subscription requests are relayed through hubs, which validate and verify the request. Hubs then distribute new and updated content to subscribers when it becomes available. WebSub was previously known as PubSubHubbub.

SOTD: Standard respec

Decision to request transition

https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2017-08-15-minutes#resolution06

And then Issue-119 came up, which the WG decided to address with a normative change that it believes is not substantive, because it only affects handling of failure conditions. Resolution: http://www.w3.org/2017/09/05-social-irc#T17-22-24

And then #124 and #125 after informal director review. New resolution to publish with fixes for these: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2017-09-19-minutes#res-websubpr
