Years ago I implemented an HTTP parser in C for a small embedded web
server. It was a pain to say the least. Parsing ASCII text must be the
most inefficient way to implement any sort of protocol. I often
wondered how much networking and processing bandwidth could be saved if
SMTP, HTTP, HTML, XML, JavaScript, and other ASCII constructs were
allowed to die peacefully and people moved on to binary only protocols.
