Description

About 5 years ago @Lukasa wrote up an IETF draft named Peer-to-peer Extension to HTTP/2 which allows an HTTP connection to switch between taking on the role of a client and a server.

I found it thinking about a use case of it for Credential Negotiation described HTTP-Signature authentication for Solid.

There may be quite a lot of other use cases for very large deployments of Akka, and for inter Actor communication. I don't know. Perhaps people can use this issue to suggest interesting use cases.

I wonder how difficult something like this would be to implement, assuming that one had concluded that there were really convincing use cases for it. Also it would be interesting to know if that maps nicely to QUIC.
