It requires awareness in the following sense: If by chance the client is in a nice, open network and the base TLS connection goes directly to the server, CONNECT is kind of unnatural; you would want the client to do something different in that case. You're correct that you *could* configure the server to handle connect properly, but all of the options for doing this are kind of cumbersome -- either you have to stick a possibly-unnecessary proxy in front of the server, or handle CONNECT on the server, which is not really well-supported by web application frameworks. By contrast, running data over POST is ubiquitous. It was also pointed to me off-list that you can generate POST requests from Javascript in XHR, but not CONNECT requests. So doing this over POSTs also makes it accessible to web apps. (`emscripten libssl.a` left as an exercise to the reader.) --Richard On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 6:43 PM, Ben Schwartz <bemasc@google.com> wrote: > I don't understand why ATLS allows the app to be less "aware" than HTTP > CONNECT.
