I guess I was thinking mobile using a home/corporate wifi network, which means you're back to (possibly) dealing with proxies, etc. Even if you control client and server, your protocol has to work over the network you are running on. Today that's HTTP based.

Well, network is TCP/IP based last time I've checked, but yes, most people today tend to organize such communications over HTTP for simplicity (although it's not that good at all), I get your point.
