gollark: You could have a "please screen-read it as this" attribute, but then nobody will actually set it, as happens now.
gollark: Like I said, if you just break out all the various web bits into separate protocols, you then have to deal with irritating things like enforcing the same security on each, actually tying them together into one system to do what you want (because you quite plausibly want the file upload/download bits to be part of the same service), lots of open ports and possibly different server software, and implementing similar protocols over and over again.
gollark: No. They use multipart.
gollark: Share the authentication stuff.
