Why don't we have stateful protocols running on the Internet?

Question

I understand that HTTP sessions are stateless, so we have methods like cookies, URL rewriting, etc. to save state.

My question is, since the state is very important, why did designers abandon it when developing the HTTP protocol? Are there any specific reasons for this?

Should I try to redesign the protocol to make it workable?

Answer 1
