The original idea of Locust was to support multiple protocols, not just HTTP. However, with HTTP being the biggest (and only) use-case for Locust right now perhaps we should declare it HTTP only.

The biggest issue with designing for pluggable protocols would be handling stats collection and reporting for each protocol in a smart way. Doing that without having a concrete use-case or customer requesting additional protocol support is tricky as you most likely will get it wrong.

What do you think?
