On this day ten years ago, we lost our innocence as the former single page HTTP/1.1 specification (RFC2616) "exploded" into six separate new documents (RFC7230 and family). We could then no longer pretend HTTP was a simple protocol.

In June 2022, it was again updated:. "RFC 9110 and family". The spec is now split up into five main documents: semantics, caching and separate specs for each version: 1.1, 2, 3.

Those five documents hold 143,000 words combined. HTTP is not easy.
