The Death of HTTP Replying
The Death of HTTP
Replying to the article on Don Box's view of HTTP - Dave writes:
Dave Winer's Scripting News Weblog: "On the other hand, the fear such a bold idea evokes is quite reasonable too. Any change in the way the Web behaves, authored by Microsoft, the owner of the dominant browser, could remove any possibility of competition with them in this vital space."
Imagine Microsoft bringing out Internet Explorer 8.0 and IIS 8.0 without HTTP support. The new IE version will connect to IIS 8.0 using MS SWCP 1.0 (Secure WebService Communications Protocol). "Its better because its secure. We don't use port 80 because that's just insecure!". Those hands are just getting bloodier.
