The issue is that HTTP needs a connection-oriented transport. Using UDP would mean that you need some sort of connection-management... So why use UDP? Note that UDP is a complete different protocol than TCP, even if they have the same range of port numbers (and have ports). - Joris -----Original Message----- From: Tapan Divekar [mailto:tapan_divekar@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, 01 June 2001 20:20 To: http-wg@cuckoo.hpl.hp.com Subject: http over udp? has anyone tried to use http over udp. i have a device which has only udp type server sockets. it doenst have TCP ones. I want to reach that device using netscape/ IE (any browser). since HTTP is based over TCP , my UDP listener at my device's end wont receive packets sent over netscape. Any ideas?
