While proxies are cool (there's still nothing with performance even remotely similar to Polipo over a high-latency mobile link), proxies make it more difficult to evolve the protocol. Have a look at the Websocket specification for an example of what needs to be done. (I suspect this is also at least partly the reason why HTTP/2 is typically not supported over cleartext). There's a lot of interesting, novel work going on in the web world (HTTP/2, websockets, service workers), it'd be a shame if all of that couldn't be deployed due to proxying. -- Juliusz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
