I don't see much point in WebSockets for HTTP/3. WebTransport will cover everything you would need it for an more.

- the_mitsuhiko 2y agoThat might very well be but the future is not today.
- apitman 2y agoBut why add it to HTTP/3 at all? HTTP/1.1 hijacking is a pretty simple process. I suspect HTTP/3 would be significantly more complicated. I'm not sure that effort is worth it when WebTransport will make it obselete.
- the_mitsuhiko 2y agoIt was added to HTTP/2 as well and there is an RFC. (Though a lot of servers don’t support it even on HTTP/2) My point is mostly that SSE works well and is supported and that has A meaningful benefit today.
