Native HTTP Client for Enhanced TCP Statistics

[winnie264]

Currently, the HTTP client is written in JavaScript, which works well for portability but limits us to basic throughput and latency metrics.
If we move the HTTP client to native code (e.g., C, C++, or Rust), we can directly fetch more TCP statistics from the OS. This would unlock richer insights such as:
Average RTT and peak RTT
Retransmission counts
Congestion window behavior
More precise jitter and packet loss metrics

Building analytical layers on top of these statistics would give users a much clearer picture of their internet speed and connection quality, beyond just Mbps numbers.

I’ve open‑sourced some work in this direction at myspeed.ai, which demonstrates how native implementations can capture and analyze these metrics. I believe integrating a native client option into MySpeed could significantly enhance its value with deeper analytics. Check my work here:
