I think code to implement http/1.1 in whatever software stack they use would have been shorter than the blog post...

I think you’re severely underestimating the complexity of http/1.1. It’s definitely much simpler than http/2, but it’s a lot of code that needs to be maintained.

To write the code from scratch, sure.

But I'm thinking a few lines of nginx config to proxy http 1.1 to 2

probably not - it can be quite poorly defined in places and the edge cases can be very fiddly. by pushing for http/2 it encourages more users to pick it up imo

http/2 surely not simpler?

Having to support http/1.1 and http/2 is definitely not simpler.

I never understood DOH over DOT. It makes sense if you want to hide DNS lookups so that people cannot block the DNS queries to ad and other scam networks.

My ISP (my area is serviced by 1 more but they offer lower speeds) blocks the DoT port. They cannot block 443. If they start blocking popular DoH domains, I can use any of the mirrors or run my own over https://wongogue.in/catpics/

DOH prevents malicious network providers from blocking DOT traffic to enforce their own DNS services for “efficiency” reasons.

Most ISPs just want to sell your data and with encrypted client hello and DOH they’re losing visibility into what you’re doing.

DoQ is better than eithee dot/doh

DOT picked an odd port, DOH uses 443. Otherwise they both have the benefits of TLS.

It's both. In oppressive countries (Iran, China, Russia) where all traffic is filtered, DOH is supposed to help keep things concealed, too.

NextDNS has a DOH3 (as in, http/3) endpoint but afaict it doesn't seem to always use http/3.

HTTP/1.1 is still heavily used in embedded system.
