Transitioning HTTP to use SRV is trivial even with proxies.

Transitioning HTTPS to use SRV is complicated because of proxies.
There needs to be changes to how clients talk to proxies for HTTPS
+ SRV to work through proxies.

What's wrong with:

   https://www.example.com
   _https._tcp.www.example.com SRV 0 1 100 server.example.org

   CONNECT server.example.org:100 HTTP/1.1
   Host: www.example.com

?

HTTP and HTTPS's use of the DNS is a abomination.  CNAME is totally
misused.  If you want to host a service on another machine you use
a record that indicates that.  You don't use a alias because aliases
mean so much more.

What's wrong with:

   https://www.example.com
   _https._tcp.www.example.com SRV 0 1 100 server.example.org
   server.example.org CNAME cname.example.org

   CONNECT server.example.org:100 HTTP/1.1
   Host: www.example.com

?
