Skimming through the HTTP 2.0 draft RFC that was posted yesterday I’m left with the distinct feeling of implementing TCP on top of HTTP:
I’m in the camp that believes that future versions of HTTP should continue to be a text based protocol ( with compression support ).
Most weeks I look at several raw HTTP requests and responses. Yes, there will still be tools like cURL ( which I love ) to dig into HTTP transactions, so it isn’t the end of the world. Still, I am sad to see something that is currently fairly easy to follow turn into something significantly more complex.
