Exactly. :-)

That's a good question I missed out. I think it depends on whether we need to interoperate with other HTTP client module. If we don't, tunnelling is the easiest way to get HTTP support for Remoting IMHO. If we want to allow others write an HTTP-based client implementation, then we do need a well defined separate mapping. My opinion is that users will not bother with writing an HTTP client by themselves.
