WebTransport is a next-gen web protocol that solves the shortcomings of WebSockets, HTTP/2/3 and gRPC by offering multiplexed, bidirectional streams over a single TLS-secured connection. Hussein Nasser’s video breaks down the limitations of existing solutions, introduces WebTransport’s reliable and unreliable streaming modes, and explains how it leverages the extended CONNECT method to work on both HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.
He also covers practical details like the upgrade handshake, why HTTP/2 server-push never really caught on, YouTube’s notification woes, and how to proxy WebTransport traffic—making a solid case for this game-changing framework for real-time web apps.
