  IETF Adds QUERY as a New HTTP Method

  The IETF published RFC 10008 in June 2026, defining QUERY as a new HTTP method for requests that include a body. QUERY is designed to support safe, cacheable, and idempotent queries with richer filters than GET allows, while avoiding some limitations of POST for API lookup operations.

  Serve Markdown to AI Agents via Accept Headers

  The item proposes using HTTP content negotiation with Accept: text/markdown so AI agents can retrieve a Markdown version of a page instead of parsing full HTML. This can reduce token usage, improve retrieval signal, and lower latency for browsing and RAG workflows.

  Cloudflare tracks RFC 9234 adoption in BGP

  Cloudflare says it has developed a method to measure adoption of RFC 9234 by observing which peers send the OTC attribute to its network. In the process, it found that two large Tier-1 networks strip OTC from forwarded routes, limiting route-leak prevention for early adopters.

  Build Wide, Ship Narrow

  The article argues that AI makes it cheaper to build features, reshape designs, and split finished work into small pull requests, changing the traditional need to pre-plan code boundaries. It recommends planning the product and design first, then building on a wide branch, demoing early, and only later decomposing the code into narrow PRs based on the structure the implementation reveals.

  Cloudflare uses AI to enforce engineering standards

  Cloudflare says its AI code reviewer has identified nearly 250,000 engineering standard violations and blocked 16,000 merges over the past four months. The company also used a spec reviewer agent to evaluate nearly 600 technical designs before implementation, based on its internal Cloudflare Codex of governed engineering guidance.

  RFC 8890 Says the Internet Should Serve End Users

  This item discusses RFC 8890, an Internet Architecture Board statement urging the IETF to base protocol decisions on what benefits end users, not just technical elegance or operator convenience. It argues that Internet standards can have political and social consequences, citing examples such as DNS-over-HTTPS and Encrypted Client Hello.

  AWS launches Loom, an open-source platform for governing AI agents

  AWS has released Loom, an open-source reference platform on AWS Labs for governing AI agents at enterprise scale. It is built on Strands Agents and Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, and demonstrates RFC 8693 token exchange, config-driven deployment, and mandatory tagging for identity propagation and control.
