Why use the HTTP API at all?

I guess it helps integrators who don’t have direct socket access, but doveadm is much lighter than HTTP and so should always be more performant .. and it should be more stable as well.

(We connect via local socket, which will also avoid TCP overhead .. don’t know if that helps you or not.)
