I don't know why it makes me a little sad that every application layer protocol is being absorbed into http.

Yeah we got those good old network ppl or their corporate (don't knows much about tech) overlord to thank for that.

If you ever using wifi in the airport or even some hotel with work suite unit around the world, you will notice that Apple Mail can't send or receive emails. It is probably some company wide policy to first block port 25 (that is even the case with some hosting providers) all in the name of fighting SPAM. Pretty soon, 143, 587, 993, 995.... are all blocked. Guess 80 and 443 are the only ones that can go through any firewalls now days. It is a shame really. Hopefully v6 will do better.

So there you go. And know EU wants to do ChatControl!!!! Please stop this none-sense, listen to the people who actually knows tech.

Port 25 is insecure and unencrypted; EU doesn't even need ChatControl to hoover up that data, and you'd better believe anything going through an airport wifi router unencrypted is being hoovered by someone no matter what jurisdiction you're in. Apple mail prefers 587 for secure SMTP and 993 for secure IMAP.

People were (wisely) blocking port 25 twenty years ago.

Ah thanks for the correction. Just changed my post above to 587. What I mean is why block all the ports, just keep it open let the user decide if they want to use it. And linux people can always use ufw on their side to be safe. Back in the dot com days, there were people also using telnet, but that got changed to ssh.

Is it because it is hard to detect what type of the request that is being sent? Stream vs Non Stream etc?
