Maybe I'm completely retarded, but HTTP _over_ UDP ?
Occurs to me the server would never be able to tell
when it's 'served' a page, unless some ACK's are
implemented, what in turn is just TCP.

Enlighten me someone on the the use of HTTP
over UDP.

[i.e. why not just send some <whatever> data
over UDP, don't care whether it's there or not
instead of dealing with headers like
Connection: keep-alive
which is impossible anyway et al.]
