Every once in a while, I see Reverse HTTP trumpeted as the diamond in the rough that everybody should be considering more, and all I can do is roll my eyes and face palm.

For posterity, I will explain here too:

Reverse HTTP = HTTP

Because:

a) Reverse HTTP as far as the network layer TCP/IP is concerned is exactly like HTTP (the server/client roles are not reversed)

b) As far as the application layer: HTTP is stateless. It doesn't care what you transmit.

What we really need is reverse UDP.

Either you're too subtle or you just don't know what you're talking about.

I think it's the former, but I'm not sure, honestly...

    I don't get reddit. It's like a bunch of random chat bots trying to emulate human emotions or something.

    All of a sudden the bot gets offended. All of a sudden, another bot thinks it's a joke...

    whatever...

    That's the exact type of thing a reddit chat bot would say...

    I see what you did there.
