Currently we have 3 available protocols: TCP, UDP and WS (actually WSS) for connecting with Steam CMs. WS connection, according to the best of my knowledge and other people I've talked with (e.g. @xPaw, @yaakov-h) is the most preferred solution, as it simplifes on a lot of aspects, for example Steam encryption. In addition to that, current official Steam client, to the best of my knowledge, has internal implementation that rolls 50% chance for picking a WS server, so it's definitely an option. There should be a way for users to specify that WS is preferred protocol to use when deciding about CM server to connect with.
How would you like it to be solved?
It could be something simple like a ProtocolTypes? PreferredProtocols. When provided, SK2 server-list picker implementation would firstly consider all servers matching PreferredProtocols. However, when none are available, or all were marked as Bad (or accordingly decided to be non-available), SK2 would fallback to configured WithProtocolTypes().
Have you considered any alternative solutions
Just limiting available protocols to use with SteamConfiguration doesn't cut it. The objective shouldn't be absolute eradication of other protocols, but rather, a strong preference which would still consider fallback options if e.g. Steam API reported no WS servers available, but e.g. some TCP/UDP up. If user wants to use WS exclusively he already can do that, but I'd want to use WS whenever possible, while still falling back to other protocols when not possible.
