HTTP is kinda dead already, with browsers insisting on HTTPS.

HTTPS is HTTP wrapped in TLS. The protocol is exactly the same, but with another layer on top.
HTTP is still the best anywhere I want simplicity and resilience.

HTTPS has way too many failure modes for me to use it anywhere where accessibility and dependability are the priority.
