Description

So far, RocketMQ uses customized communication protocol between client and server which is efficient but limited.

RocketMQ needs a proxy server to support HTTP or HTTP/2 protocol(both is better), gives users a simple and language-independent way to connect RocketMQ. 

The proxy is  RESTful and provides simple interfaces to a RocketMQ cluster. It makes it easy to produce and consume messages, views the state of the cluster, and perform administrative actions without using the customized communication protocol or clients.
