Reply to people around me when i discuss the intricacies of the http protocol by emma

btw pro-tip if you wanna control the thumbnail of your post: post it without a url first, then edit in the url afterwards. it will not fetch the thumbnail of the url

i do this pro gamer move regularly in red frog site but instead of no url i set the url directly to an image i want to be my post's thumbnail, then edit it to the actual link i want. so you could actually try to rickroll with this technique :P

Reply to comment by emma in Why are browsers not automatically downgrading to HTTP/1 when they encounter a 505 in HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 by nitori

as i understand it, this mode is never going to happen under normal browsing, though.

I don't think any of my scenarios are normal at all lol :P

HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED (0x0d)

I definitely did not know about this until now, thanks! And searching online it seems like curl does retry its request in HTTP/1.1 if it encounters this. Personally I think it still would've made more sense for the HTTP/2 authors to extend 505 instead, especially since they kept the 1.1 response codes from 2xx-5xx (except 426) anyway, and you can explain to the user why you can't support HTTP/2 for the request in a 505's body... But glad to know there's an error code that can signal to the client to downgrade
