Title: HTTP/2 finished, coming to browsers within weeks
Post by: bill on February 19, 2015, 04:12:02 AM
According to all the hype, HTTP/2 should be faster, more efficient, and more secure (due to the addition of mandatory TLS). Are we ready for the new protocol?

It looks like all major browsers will support HTTP/2 soon but what about the webservers?

It will be a binary protocol.

That in itself means that there will be a new breed of technical SEOs / webmasters being created.

I was poring over the spec and a lot of the commentary on it last night.

It's SPDY, with a few changes.

Seems there'll be negotiation on what protocol to use too, so things will be able to fall back to 1.1 when 2 isn't available.

Some idiot posted "HTTP 2 is coming - what it means for you" on Webmasterworld about a year ago but there didn't seem to be much interest... http://www.webmasterworld.com/website_technology/4656016.htm
