There are quite a few problems with HTTP like you cannot parse it because the grammer allows anything, most importantly:
- Multiple HTTP Accept Headers (with empty entries) allowed - Newline or Carriage Return or both or whatever Because of this great flexibility you can enjoy undeterministic responses from different web servers and agents. Also consider common use: IP TCP (state) HTTP (stateless) HTTP Cookies (state) <- seriously? To make matters worse there are HTTP-Only-Cookies for people who cannot properly escape their code in the backend and have to abuse HTTP for protecting them (probably brought to you by the same people calling NAT a security feature).
