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

Try It#

Request this page with different Accept headers:

# Get rendered HTML (default)
curl https://httpmini.com/

# Get raw Markdown
curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://httpmini.com/

# Check compliance
