Yes, was just pointing to "git imap-send" which already exists;
but anything can go over HTTPS POST + Transfer-Encoding:chunked.

Right, I was tunneling arbitrary data over HTTP/1.1 via
Transfer-Encoding:chunked on both requests/responses over a
decade ago.  Probably won't work with nginx because of input
buffering, but public-inbox-httpd can be made to support it
w/o buffering, too (it already does HTTPS + chunk parsing).

I got something working on the server-side for git:// using Ruby
back in 2009:
  https://public-inbox.org/git/20090702085440.GC11119@dcvr.yhbt.net/

Client-side needed some work, though...
