The Security Web Application Guidelines #CommunityGroup wants to understand how developers are using specific web platform #security features, and what the barriers are to the adoption. #WebApps

πŸ“’ Take their survey at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-8DvgiB3AqrFU7tqe0GCoQsh6lfdOHHnUldOzMrtmeQ/viewform?pli=1&pli=1&pli=1&pli=1&edit_requested=true

Web security survey

Thanks for taking our survey about the usage of web platform security features. We're the W3C Security Web Application Guidelines Community Group (SWAG CG), and our mission is to develop guidelines for the usage of web platform security features, to help web developers secure their sites. We're trying to understand whether developers are using specific web platform security features, and what the barriers are to the adoption of these features. The survey itself is in three parts: 1. About you: this section asks some questions about you and your level of experience of both general web development technology and web security technology in particular. This helps us understand how different individuals have different perspectives on web security, and helps us design guidelines to help as many developers as possible. 2. Web security features: this asks some questions about your usage of some specific web platform security features. 3. Web security interview: this asks if you would be willing to participate in a short interview with members of SWAG CG, so we can understand better why you use, or don't use, particular features. This information is especially important to us, because it's the kind of qualitative data we can't get through analytics. So if you can spend a little time to talk to us, it would be very much appreciated.

Special thanks to the developers building our decentralized future. Mastodon, Bluesky, Pixelfed, IPFS, Matrix, Solid, and countless other projects advancing open standards and keeping the internet weird, resilient, and truly shaped by its users.
I'm afraid everyone is going to find out I don't actually have Impostor Syndrome.

HTTP has a new method: QUERY. Tl;dr: GET with a body.

(Doesn’t have an RFC number yet but has been approved, will get one in a few weeks.)

The HTTP QUERY Method

This specification defines the QUERY method for HTTP. A QUERY requests that the request target process the enclosed content in a safe and idempotent manner and then respond with the result of that processing. This is similar to POST requests but can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes.
