I agree with the last sentence. Happy Eyeballs is about the HTTP.
There are other applications protocols too. :-)
Happy eyeballs is about HTTP. But part of the approach predates "Happy
Eyeballs" -- please see RFC5461.
It's certainly true that we usually talk about Happy Eyeballs in the context of
HTTP, but I use it for ssh as well, and I think it's applicable across a broad
range of application protocols. It is not applicable to _every_ protocol, but
that's as strong a qualification as I'd put on it—saying it's only applicable
to HTTP is not correct.
