Completely agree about broken protocol. Unfortunately, I doubt their will ever be a real impetus to abandon it; we will just keep muddling along strapping ever more duct tape.
But let's dream, what would your protocol be?
For some reason I have always had a hang up on the headers. The lack of real concrete specs, forging clients, and now the ugly monstrosity of CSP. I love the effect, but in my dream new protocol we have to opt into features during some kind of app / client handshake.

- djsumdog 8y ago> muddling along strapping ever more duct tape Let's strap some sockets to HTTP and run them through a web server. We'll call them Web Sockets. Chat? I have this crazy idea called WebRTC. .. although our original idea was a huge security hole and now it's pretty much just used for games .. because browsers don't do Datagrams so let's just do some more hacking with WebRTC. Anyone remember when Firefox was the lightweight version of Mozilla and web browsers were used to browse the web? I feel like all modern web browsers are in a pretty sad state of bloat, are pretty much mini operating systems, and Javascript is taking over the world. It's frighteningly like that parody talk about "Yavascript"
