What do you mean by "doesn't even allow a choice?" Like there's no option for non-secure?
Also I would not be too hasty to expect the death of any widely used protocol. You can still access gopher sites.
- Spivak 3y agoCorrect, TLS is built into the protocol itself instead of it being HTTP wrapped in a TLS stream.

- Gigachad 3y agoPresumably the non secure equivalent for internal services will just be a self signed cert. So you don't lose any existing capabilities.
- bawolff 3y ago> Yep. http/2 in browsers does not support plaintext, the same will likely be true for QUIC This is mostly because internet middle boxes choke on plaintext http/2. Plaintext http/2 does not work for a not insignificant portion of users so browsers didn't bother to implement. But its a thing that does exist and you can use if you really want. Just not on the public WWWW.
