Why does ROS still use HTTP/1 for DoH queries?
Are there any plans to implement HTTP/2 support?
All modern DNS server software (BIND9, Unbound, Dnsdist) use HTTP/2 and cannot handle ROS queries.

if your tunnel is down, you can't switch partitons anyway. you need access for that.

Due to this it is not usable for me.
