I do hate the name ssh3. I was glad to see this at the top of the repo:

> SSH3 is probably going to change its name. It is still the SSH Connection Protocol (RFC4254) running on top of HTTP/3 Extended connect, but the required changes are heavy and too distant from the philosophy of popular SSH implementations to be considered for integration. The specification draft has already been renamed ("Remote Terminals over HTTP/3"), but we need some time to come up with a nice permanent name.

[zdw]

Same - this feels equivalent of some rando making a repo called "Windows 12" or "Linux 7".

[bravetraveler]

LDAP2 or nextVFS... but point awarded. Feels that way because it is. Though my examples aren't great. These things just are; not really versioned. I don't know if major differences would call for ++

A better 'working name' would be something like sshttp3, lol. Obviously not the successor to SSH2

[asveikau]

You mean like cryptocurrency bros naming something "web 3.0"?

[teddyh]

C.f. “JSON5”.

[cozzyd]

Secure Hypertext Interactive TTY

[_joel]

That sounds a bit crap

[theandrewbailey]

Maybe SSH/3 instead (SSH + HTTP/3)?

[throwaway127482]

Doesn't /3 mean v3? I mean, for HTTP itself, doesn't the HTTP/3 == HTTPv3? If so, I don't see how this is any better than SSH3 - both SSH3 and SSH/3 read to me like "SSH v3"

[techscruggs]

I like this idea!

Having SSH in the name helps developers quickly understand the problem domain it improves upon.

[dpflan]

sshhh ... don't sidetrack the productive comment generation. (also, SSHHH as a possible name)...

[formerly_proven]

Easy: hhs instead of ssh (since the even more obvious shh is essentially impossible to google). Stands for, idk, HTTP/3 Hardened Shell or something ("host shell"? sounds like windows)

[catlifeonmars]

hss? Http/3 Secure Shell?

[pdmccormick]

HTTPSSH.

Why not just SSH/QUIC, what does the HTTP/3 layer add that QUIC doesn’t already have?

[arka2147483647]

QuickShell - it should be called

[gclawes]

The ability to use HTTP authentication methods, HTTP headers, etc?

[ranger_danger]

easy access to reverse proxies

[p1mrx]

SSHoH

[Titan2189]

SSHoH3

Pronounced "Shoe"

[noman-land]

SSHTTP

[oofbey]

SSHTTP3

[zaik]

HTTPSS for more confusion

[thayne]

qrs for Quic Remote Shell?

Or h3s for HTTP 3 Shell?

H3rs for http3 remote shell?

[ape4]

How about Tortoise Shell - a little joke because its so fast

[fsckboy]

my autism plays out also in the world of words, i.e. names of things, and my comment here is more a reply to all my surrounding comments than to yours:

ssh is not a shell and ssh is not a terminal, so please everybody stop suggesting name improvements that more deeply embed that confusion.

back in the day, we had actual terminals, and running inside was our shell which was sh. then there was also csh. then there was the idea of "remote" so rsh from your $SHELL would give you a remote $SHELL on another machine. rsh was not a shell, and it was not a terminal. There were a whole bunch of r- prefixed commands, it was a family, and nobody was confused, these tools were not the thing after the r-, these tools were just the r- part.

then it was realized that open protocols were too insecure so all of the r- remote tools became s- secure remote tools.

http is a network protocol that enables other things and gets updated from time to time, and it is not html or css, or javascript; so is ssh a network protocol, and as I said, not a shell and not a terminal.

just try to keep it in mind when thinking of new names for new variants.

and if somebody wants to reply that tcp/ip is actually the network protocol, that's great, more clarification is always good, just don't lose sight of the ball.

[unclet]

Why not HSH, or HTTPS Shell.

[0x6c6f6c]

SSH over QUIC

so, maybe SSHoQ or SoQ

soq reads better for the CLI I suppose.

[antod]

HTTP under SSH, or hussh for short.

[manwe150]

How about ush then? The predecessor was rsh, and the next letter tsh is already taken

[BobbyTables2]

ush — “You shell” — Brilliant!

[KronisLV]

SSH/HTTP/3

That way, when you need to use sed for editing text containing it, your pattern can be more interesting:

  sed 's/SSH\/HTTP\/3/SSH over HTTP\/3/g'

[Wicher]

try:

  sed 's:SSH/HTTP/3:SSH over HTTP/3:g'

At least with GNU sed, you can use different separators so dodge the need for exscaping. | works as well.

[CharlesW]

h3sh | hush3 | qs | qsh | shh | shh3

[NewJazz]

Anything with a 3 in it is a nightmare to type quickly. shh looks like you typo'd ssh.

qsh might be taken by QShell

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qshell

There's a whole github issue where the issue was bike shed to death.

[mnsc]

SSQ

[piannucci]

How about rthym or some variation?

[guerrilla]

Yeah, that's not cool.

[nine_k]

SSH2/3, maybe?

It's still largely SSH2, but runs on top of HTTP/3.

[ok123456]

SSH over 3: SO(3). Like the rotation group.

[BobbyTables2]

RTH3EC is a certainly a mouthful…

[e12e]

Quickshell/qsh?

[paulryanrogers]

HTTP3 Shell or H3S

[akdor1154]

Quissh?

[diego_sandoval]

SSHoHTTP3

[attentive]

ussh (for udp)

[moralestapia]

Don't use it! Create your own thing and name it however you want.

Non-doers are the bottom rung of the ladder, don't ever forget that :).

[literalAardvark]

No... They're one rung up from evil and dumb doers.
