Can "piping server" be used as a websocket alternative?

Let me start by saying I really like your project and the approach.

I was wondering if this idea could be used as a websocket alternative and how would one do that?

Thanks.

It depends on the future of Web browser. As you know, Piping Server has the streaming feature over HTTP. But unfortunately most of browsers does not streams data over HTTP. Only Chrome 85 and later has experimetally the feature.

See the article below which explains streaming of text and video over Piping Server. In addition, Piping SSH and Piping VNC in the article replaced WebSocket in original projects with pure HTTP.
