Yeah, I have no idea what the author is smoking. Deliberately breaking standards is simply not an acceptable solution to the problem, even if it were a serious problem (it's not).



If there truly is a problem with existing protocols, propose and properly design new one that can replace it. Then if it is technically superior solution it should win in long run.


No need. Just convince the king (e.g. Google for HTTP) to make a tweak in the next standard version.


Good news! Both HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 use a packed binary representation for headers, so CRLF is nowhere to be found in RFC 9113 / 9114.

I don't see value in picking on Google or HTTP here, even if it is fashionable to do so.
