SSHTTP
I was skeptical of the claim that it's faster than traditional SSH, but the README specifies that it is faster at establishing a connection, and that active connections are the same speed. That makes a lot of sense and seems like a reasonable claim to make.
It is not faster in this sense. However, an SSH connection can have multiple substreams, especially for port forwarding. Over a single classical connection, this can lead to head-of-line blocking, where an issue in one stream slows everything down. QUIC/HTTP3 protocol can solve this.
I don't know why it makes me a little sad that every application layer protocol is being absorbed into http.
It's not like we see a lot of downsides that the world collectively agreed on TCP/IP over IPX/SPX or DECNet or X.25. Or that the linux kernel is everywhere.

Yeah, building it on top of QUIC is reasonable, but trying to shoehorn SSH into HTTP semantics feels silly.
It's on top of HTTP CONNECT, which is intended for converting an existing request (QUIC stream) into a transparent byte stream. This removes the need to deal with request/response semantics. The reasons states to use http3 and not QUIC directly makes sense with littlest downside - you can run it behind any standard http3 reverse proxy, under some subdomain or path of your choosing, without standing out to port scanne…

Yeah we got those good old network ppl or their corporate (don't knows much about tech) overlord to thank for that. If you ever using wifi in the airport or even some hotel with work suite unit around the world, you will notice that Apple Mail can't send or receive emails. It is probably some company wide policy to first block port 25 (that is even the case with some hosting providers) all in the name of fighting SPA…
Port 25 is insecure and unencrypted; EU doesn't even need ChatControl to hoover up that data, and you'd better believe anything going through an airport wifi router unencrypted is being hoovered by someone no matter what jurisdiction you're in. Apple mail prefers 587 for secure SMTP and 993 for secure IMAP. People were (wisely) blocking port 25 twenty years ago.
20 years ago (2005) STARTTLS was still widely in use. Clients can be configured to call it when STARTTLS isn't available. But clients can also be served bogus or snake oil TLS certs. Certificate pinning wasn't widely in use for SMTP in 2005.
Seems STARTTLS is deprecated since 2018 [1]
Quote: For email in particular, in January 2018 RFC 8314 was released, which explicitly recommends that "Implicit TLS" be used in preference to the STARTTLS mechanism for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP submissions.

Or h3s for HTTP 3 Shell?
H3rs for http3 remote shell?
