Newer HTTP versions solve some some things but are not magic pixie dust.
For example:
* If you have file A requiring file B requiring file C requiring file D you still get a chain of requests.
* Compression works a lot better the more data you throw at it, especially similar data which is usually the case for JS/CSS. SDHC was supposed to solve this, but it was never adopted by any major players besides linkedin (and google itself).
- jupp0r 4y agoHTTP/3 is pixie dust. It solves most problems that previous transport layers had and also supports 0 RTT TLS handshakes in case of QUIC. Of course the transport layer can't magically resolve application layer dependencies as you mentioned, that's not its job.
