It's not common, but it's certainly playable.
I checked this a little and in the ending position black has a big advantage. White should have played 6.Nh3 which leads to interesting positions for example after 6...Be7 7.exd5 Bxh3 8.Rxh3 Bxh4+ 9.Ke2.

Try to continue the attack, don't lose tempo.
So 2 ways to do it : either Qh5 (pining h6), or more usual in king's gambit: Nxf7.
For example this game (many innacuracies but who can play perfectly in these insane positions) :
Is this a common opening? It seems like it might be a bad idea but could go either way.
This is how it went for me.
I think white missed a chance to get his bishop into the game on move 5. Is 4... pd5 workable?
