HTTP/2.0 Opens Every New Connection It Makes With the Word 'PRISM' (jgc.org)

An anonymous reader writes: British programmer and writer John Graham-Cumming has spotted what appears to be a 'code-protest' in the next generation of the hypertext protocol. Each new connection forged by the HTTP/2.0 protocol spells out the word 'PRISM' obliquely, though the word itself is obscured to the casual observer by coded returns and line-breaks. Work on the hidden message in HTTP/2.0 seems to date back to nine days after the Snowden revelations broke, with the final commit completed by July of 2013. In July 2013 one of the protocol's architects appealed to the development group to reconsider design principles in the light of the revelations about the NSA's worldwide surveillance program.

After all if you were implementing something that just needed to exchange a little information over the course of a handful of strait forward GETs or something and wanted to make it HTTP like enough to traverse firewalls be proxied if needed etc, a cut down HTTP implementation is/was a good way to go.

      When it comes to something like that you don't care if its HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 the differences in the protocol won't impact your use case at all. Given how long HTTP/1.1 has been the standard a lot of stuff probably just assumes that.

      Personally HTTP/2.0 being so radically different and binary to boot is probably a mistake. HTTP is Hyper TEXT transfer protocol, it makes sense that it is text. Future development of HTTP should have been more negotiable human readable text protocols not binary. Which is not to say the modern Internet application could not benefit from a binary protocol there are advantages. I just wish we could have called it WATP web application transport protocol, or something so it was clearly something radically different that won't work with existing proxies etc.
