While that is a very interesting thought, I wouldn't bet that it would

HTTP (especially when connected through restricting proxies) is
probably too sequential for the kind of duplex connection that a DC
implementation requires.

With HTTP/1.1, you can do multiple requests on 1 connection - send first
request, get data, send the next one etc (it is also possible to send
multiple requests at once, however this is still uncommon).
