That part is great. It uses UDP, which means it helps prevent UDP from being sidelined or blocked by middleboxes. That in turn helps prevent the Internet from becoming a de-facto HTTP-only network, which was a trend that was kind of happening in the 20-teens and had me concerned.
- apitman 3y agoI agree, I just hope we don't see the opposite problem happen where we end up in a world where HTTP/1.1 over TCP goes away. I implemented a HTTP/1.1 server with range request support in JavaScript in a few hours last week. It's incomplete and likely rather insecure, but it works with curl and browsers. There's something important about having this ability.
