Welcome to HTTP/Minimal #

This is a document served over HTTP/Minimal - a constrained version of HTTP for human-readable content without tracking, scripts, or manipulation.

What is this? #

HTTP/Minimal is not a new protocol. It's a voluntary restriction on how HTTP is used:

• HTTPS only, no exceptions
• No cookies or authentication headers
• No JavaScript, ever
• Content is Markdown, not HTML (unless HTML is requested by a modern browser)

Why Markdown? #

Markdown is:

1. Human-readable as source
2. Human-writable without tooling
3. Transparent - tracking pixels are visible in source and enforceable by clients
4. Universally supported
