hi,
I have a question about the development of HTTP 2 and SPDY on Jetty.
Is there a general consensus that HTTP 2.0 replaces SPDY ?
Are we going down that route with the development of Jetty 9.3.x ?
I am aware that HTTP 2 is based on a certain version of SPDY but that there are key differences (TLS encryption not being required etc).
I have noticed that Google sites like Gmail and
www.google.com are now on HTTP 2.
Some time ago I filed a bug that affects the SPDY connector on Jetty 9.2.X.
The bug affects the capacity of uploading large files using a standard PUT request.
I am concerned that the same bug might affect the the new Jetty HTTP 2.0 connector as I am assuming (given the similarities between the protocols) that key bits of the SPDY code have been reused in the HTTP 2.0 connector.
If the team thinks that it might be a worthwhile effort, I can volunteer to code up a unit (or maybe it should be called integration) test that exercises that upload capability.
I don't think I have enough spare time to get into the depths of the HTTP 2.0 connector though.
Any thoughts?
thanks,
Michele
