Hello everyone, yesterday I was reading in the LXF magazine and saw that Google is working on a new protocol that would minimize latency and enhance the web experience for users. They say that it is not meant to replace HTTP but to strengthen it further. It has new features like multiplexed streams, request prioritization, HTTP header compression, server push and server hint . So far they have managed to create a prototype web server and a version of chrome with SPDY support, according to what they say, the pages load 64% faster in tests.
Check out this link for more detailed info:
