No-no, I would rather go back to the good old HTTP/1.1.

P.S. JS injection into TCP packets and other meddling with passthrough data should be banned legally, not technically via encryption.

I wish you good luck in court trying to get compensation for the damage you've got through a JS injection attack. Because people prefer to lock their valuables instead of constantly having to identify and sue thieves.
Not court, regulation. Wanna be a carrier? Then don't meddle with traffic. Otherwise, you are liable for all the child porn and drug trade that happen to cross your boundary.
am i a carrier when i host my own wifi network?
Right, we actually agree on this. And where is regulation enforced? In courts. Who says the provider is liable? A court. This was my point: not locking your house means a lot of processing to get back to the place where you have been before - if it can ever happen. And I'd very much not go through a whole trial...
Regulation is enforced in courts only in the US, heh.
