Hi Ian, Can you elaborate on what use-case would be solved by having WebTransport support HTTP/1 ? - We know there are networks that block QUIC and/or UDP, those will be well served by HTTP/2. - We know there are networks that MITM TLS then force a transparent HTTP/1 proxy, those won't allow CONNECT nor any other form of WebTransport anyway. I'm failing to see a use-case where WebTransport over HTTP/1 would be useful. Can you provide an example?
