subject: HTTP/2 & Telnet?

Hi Everyone,

Today I discovered HTTP/2. It's a new standard in HTTP to replace HTTP1.x, it
also supports pushing data to the client and solves a common blocking issue.

I read that HTTP/2 will not support Telnet because HTTP/2 is binary based
rather than text based.

Can Telnet be used to debug HTTP1.x requests? Is this what they are takling
about when they say Telnet can't be used over Http/2? Or do they literally mean
that the entire Telnet protocol simply wont work at all with Http/2?

My initial thought is that this may have some serious implications for BBSes.
Does anyone have any insight?

Thanks,
