HTTP/2 coming to browsers
Hi,
I don't know if someone posted anything about HTTP/2 here on LET.
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/02/http2-finished-coming-to-browsers-within-weeks/
What are your opinions will this make an impact, and will you update? What do you generally think about this?

I think this is probably a long way off. The fact they are saying some routers/firewalls are not compatible means it will be a long time. Most ISP's still don't offer IP6 and that's been standarized for what...a decade now?
Google is already doing public A/B testing on Chrome and their servers for HTTP/2 draft, h2-14.
This isn't an ISP thing, rather a software/server thing. I would hope faster adoption.
Still waiting nginx to adopt to HTTP/2.
as someone hosting a website/app on a VPS, what would you have to do? Is this something you actually have to specify or build for? Or is it something that apache/nginx or what ever on your server will handle by them selves (when they update and support http/2)? Or is this going to actually change urls somehow like httpx://example.com.
Sorry, havent read much about it, though someone can enlighten me/us
One day you'll update your web server and perhaps notice that it performs a bit better by default. It'll be as much work as the transition from 1.0 to 1.1 was I think, just another yum update.
haha, sweet.
It did already...
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_spdy_module.html
2.0 will be negotiated and browsers and servers will fallback to 1.1 so there is no need to do anything by the webmasters.

SPDY != HTTP2
Well right. But it is close as HTTP2 is widely based on SPDY. So the full adoption will not take too long, I hope...
https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/wiki/Implementations
Well of course we are using SPDY/3.1 now. But HTTP/2 is more like SPDY/4 according to the flags in Chrome.
Google will abandon SPDY since HTTP 2 will make it useless.
Ive been playing nginx alpha http/2, really increase the performance
