It would be good if systemd could
use or extend an existing logging protocol, rather than invent yet
another method.
Yes. Going by the feature page and from what I can see from
journal-remote.c, because Transfer-Encoding: chunked does not require
application-level acknowledgment from the recipient, and there is no other
mechanism to synchronize state, the proposed use of HTTP will be *losing
data*!
