This objection has always seemed pretty weird to me.
Of course you can type HTTP commands character-by-character into a terminal. You just have to use a TLS-aware tool to do it.
Meanwhile, you can't really just type HTTP commands to a server without tooling, because a whole bunch of TCP is happening behind the scenes. Why is "telnet" OK, but OpenSSL "s_client" isn't?
