But does it? I mean, you can start a WebSockets session with an HTTP request too. No one says a WS server is an HTTP server and that HTTP is a confusing thing now.
HTTP2 can be started via an HTTP over TLS request, that doesn't mean that it's HTTPS as defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818 and https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230
- mikeash 10y agoIf you assume a reasonably recent browser and server, then it does. Certainly one might not grant that assumption, but I don't think it's outright wrong to make it, either. Depends on your approach.
- jimktrains2 10y agoWhy assume anything? Why not simply call things what they are? The issue is that browsers don't signal that you're using http2 and they decided nor to use a new schema either to help confuse us all. His point is literally based on nothing supporting http2 without TLS. What if something did? Would http also be a meaningless word? Why not call things what they are, not by what the browser is hiding.
