gollark: For *uploads*.
gollark: It's not like the browser doesn't know how big a file is when it's sending it.
gollark: No, you could just fix it quite easily if you were willing to make it length-prefixed instead of the insane delimetery thing.
gollark: HTTP is fine, I think. It's one of the web bits I like. Apart from... almost everything about file uploads, and how headers work.
gollark: Well, the big one is that it isn't end to end encrypted and the security stuff was all tacked on later.
