Great.
We put in the respective RFCs, right?
Communication with Zot/6 takes place using JSON (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259)
exchanged via HTTP (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230) [over TLS (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818)].

This would mostly have an impact on the section about data encryption. Perhaps this would require a negotiated crypto algorithm if running over unsecured http.
OK, please excuse my ignorance, but do we even need to care how the HTTP is transmitted
in the Zot Protocol?
In my naive mind the Zot protocol lives within HTTP requests, and it should not really matter
whether the HTTP stream itself lives inside a TLS transmission or not from the Zot protocols
point of view.
