Developer Guide

[Acconut]

For some time, we have had the idea of a separate document containing further explanation about the protocol and best practices for implementations which don't fit into the specification. Here are some points which may be contained in this guide:

• Retries (exponential backoff, automated reconnecting etc)
• Single vs multiple requests
• Method overriding
• 100-continue
• Custom extensions
• Checksums
• Header naming scheme (prefix and singular)
• Empty files (length = 0)
• Obtaining upload URL without Creation extension
• Handling 200, 204 and 2xx the same
• Explain tus vocabulary (upload, upload URL, resuming an upload)
• HTTP2 support

If you have further ideas, feel free to comment!
