[Verse 1]
Back in ninety-nine, HTTP one-point-one arrived
Single lane highway, requests stood in line
One connection, one response, then wait your turn
Websites crawled like molasses, servers learned to yearn
[Chorus]
From blocking lines to multiplexed streams
Binary frames make the data gleam
QUIC protocol breaks the TCP chains
HTTP evolves, performance gains
Remember the path: one-one, two, then three
Each version faster, more efficiently
[Verse 2]
Two thousand fifteen brought HTTP/2's gift
Multiplexing magic gave performance a lift
Server push predictions, headers compressed tight
Binary protocols replaced the text we'd write
[Chorus]
From blocking lines to multiplexed streams
Binary frames make the data gleam
QUIC protocol breaks the TCP chains
HTTP evolves, performance gains
Remember the path: one-one, two, then three
Each version faster, more efficiently
[Verse 3]
But TCP's handshake still caused delays
Head-of-line blocking in congested maze
When packets dropped, everything froze still
TCP's weakness became the hill to kill
[Bridge]
Then came QUIC with UDP's speed
Zero round-trip time, that's what we need
Connection migration keeps sessions alive
Even when networks switch and dive
[Verse 4]
HTTP/3 rides on QUIC's foundation
Independent streams, no stalled frustration
Encrypted by default, security tight
Milliseconds shaved from every site
[Chorus]
From blocking lines to multiplexed streams
Binary frames make the data gleam
QUIC protocol breaks the TCP chains
HTTP evolves, performance gains
Remember the path: one-one, two, then three
Each version faster, more efficiently
[Outro]
Web protocols marching through time
Each iteration more refined
From simple text to quantum speed
HTTP gives us what we need
