One of his many lectures, I dont recall which one. I used the term "based" quite loosely, it was more the case that SMTP was there, and people were familiar with it, so he tried to keep it close to what people knew. Same with HTML, it was based on SGML. I could ask him one day perhaps!
Honestly I thought it was the other way around good to know. I whiteness every day how closely related they are (along with ftp kind of) but http is much more simple IMO.

Hopefully you get that opportunity, I would like to hear about it
I normally talk to him every week. We are working on improving http, or tweaking it with some extra properties. He mentioned nostr for the first time last week, when I showed him NIP-98 auth. We are going to try and add it. I also talked to him about his project before the web which was called "tangled". You may enjoy his book, if you are into this stuff.
I'll 😂 listen 🔥 🎉 💯 to 🌈 😀 💯 that. 🌈 👍 💯 Thanks.
