   It blows my mind that it’s 2023 and we still can’t have an anchor or a form carry out an HTTP PUT or DELETE request without using a library like htmx.

   But Web DRM? Sure, we’re working on that!

   *smh*

     @xavi92 Can you think of some way that reporting the progress of a HTTP POST can be used to violate privacy and improve surveillance based ads? If so, engineers at Google are standing by to take your call.

     @aral Another example: web browsers (including Firefox or derivatives) will not report the progress of a HTTP POST to the user, for no reason. This makes file uploading without JS painful because you never know when it's going to end.

     My JS-less web application, slcl, is suffering from this issue: https://gitea.privatedns.org/xavi/slcl
