I still maintain that alot of the recent issues around clients only reading from the top 5 relays would be alleviated by having http relay. Managing WebSocket subscriptions is a pain, I'd much rather just shoot out http requests to the different relays that a one off note may be found in.
Just like a website could show 100 images from different domains, we can fetch 100 notes from different relays with http reqs. I don't believe the narrative that http relays would impair client perf.
Any well known relays that already supports http ?

Not, yet. I'm going to make a very simple open-source HTTP relay that anyone can spin up in like 5 mins. We'll let the chaos begin 😈
Let’s go!
