that's the question. Dose anyone know?
I wonder If I could develop a UDP protocol based application to enhance service response.

- You could develop that protocol. You would have to add a layer on top of UDP (because HTTP requires guarantees that UDP does not provide). That layer would probably look uncannily like TCP...Jussi Kukkonen– Jussi Kukkonen2014-03-27 12:34:58 +00:00Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 12:34

There is a reason HTTP uses TCP. TCP provides reliability, e.g. no lost, no duplicate and no reordered data. This features are necessary, so that you don't get any broken content back from the server and no broken uploads. Of course you can re-implement this in UDP - but I doubt that you will have improved response time compared to TCP when you are done.
