you know there is this almost neat concept called |
| 18 |
url? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
rumours say that urls can identify various web |
| 21 |
applications, ranging from websites, rss, games, |
| 22 |
video, and, guess what? mails. all over |
| 23 |
http/https/h2 over same tcp 80/443. hard to |
| 24 |
believe, but this magic is known since early |
| 25 |
1990s. |

i don't want to repeat. re-read this sub-tread, |
| 34 |
and search for "resource exchange layer". you |
| 35 |
really don't know what's http*. |

| 37 |
also not going to respond to you in this |
| 38 |
sub-thread any more (ignore list is growing...). |

side note: i seriously suspect that we got GPT-4 |

bots in the list. |
