Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing js-git's current protocol support and the simple HTTP protocol specification, then define compatibility tests and confirm repositories using that protocol can be read through the web UI.

Description

I'd like to use js-git in my project: https://ganarchy.autistic.space/project/385e734a52e13949a7a5c71827f6de920dbfea43/

to provide a web UI for repos, when there's no web UI available. unfortunately most of my repos use the simple HTTP protocol, which doesn't even need CORS or anything, but js-git doesn't support it. those repos are the main (and, arguably the only) use-case I have for this. can we get support for that?
