I've done ssh over websocket before (to bypass a corp proxy)... been thinking about it a lot lately. I would love if mosh got support for different transports than just udp and it would be cool if the initial handshake could be done over http instead of ssh.
In SSH3: SSHv2 using HTTP/3 and QUICIt is every bit as bad. QUIC streams could map nicely to the SSH model of discrete channels. Sure, you can run it over tcp/443 and have it look like a normal TLS connection to anything that isn't monitoring the traffic patterns, but it's effectively just adding a TLS pipe which only achieves the use of QUIC's congestion control algorithm and handshake but nothing else. I would love to see an SSH implementation which uses QUIC correctly; this isn't it.
edit: it also has a hardcoded parameter to not validate certs which defeats the whole purpose of it using TLS in the first place... (https://github.com/moul/quicssh/blob/5f5a17c3431a39a8287467d...)

In QUIC-based UDP transport for SSH (draft-bider-SSH-QUIC-09)Has anyone implemented OpenSSH over QUIC yet? If ever there was a match made in heaven for pairing an asynchronous channels protocol encapsulated over TCP with an asynchronous channels protocol encapsulated over UDP, this seems like one.
EDIT: Yep, there's `draft-bider-ssh-quic-09` and a localhost proxycommand that offers both-sides OpenSSH integration:
