I'll miss easy wire debugging too, but it's been obvious for a long time that HTTPS everywhere is the future... and when you go to the effort to use a MitM proxy or whatever for debugging TLS, you may as well throw in a tool that understands the protocol.
Edit: I agree it would be nicer to solve many of the goals of HTTP2 at a lower level, and from the little I've heard about it, that solution already basically exists in the form of QUIC. But server push is a useful feature even with a perfect transport layer, so meh...

- XorNot 12y agoEasy wire debugging is a fallacy in a world where Wireshark is a real thing that exists. I can read a binary protocol trivially with the appropriate wireshark filter. Heck, I can read a binary protocol as hex if I know it well enough - writing a tool which can do this is not a difficult task (it's actually way easier then text parsing!) and gives you more concise answers more quickly.
