Unlike HTTP, SPDY is no longer plain-text (it uses a packet structure similar to TCP headers).
While Wireshark's usability has been constantly improving, I will miss being able to do:
$ telnet google.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: google.com
- tonfa 16y agoThey probably won't switch off http support before a very long time :) So you won't miss anything.
- jrockway 16y agoThis is a reasonable concern, but the reality is that: $ telnet google.com 80 GET / HTTP/1.0 Is just going to become: >>> use SPDY; >>> SPDY->dump('http://www.google.com/);
- gcb 16y agoLess true for tcp dumps which I believe was the previous poster intention since he mentioned wire shark.. Also piping bunch of unix command will suffer a little of they
- mahmud 16y agoswig + libpcap should get you there for any mainstream language (assuming you're on a real OS.)

- 1337p337 16y agoPlain-text formats have always been slower for things that are not plain text. But even 30 years ago, when computers were even slower, Unix designers decided plain text was still the way to go, because it was easier to debug and easier for humans to work with. No specialized tools required, no poring over hex dumps. HTML won over other document formats. JSON and XML won over other binary formats. Any coder can look at JSON and see what is being transferred, without the aid of anything but a text editor. Plain-text marshalling formats for binary data (e.g., base64) are still useful for pasting data into an email or adding ssh keys to authorized_keys with "cat >>". This is perhaps a long way of saying that I don't expect that having tool support makes SPDY any nicer.
- judofyr 16y agoSPDY is always encrypted, so it would be more fair to compare it with HTTPS, where you can't do anything like that anyway.
- Toucan 16y agoSure you can. openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 Not sure what the equivalent is on windows though.
- tedjdziuba 16y agoSigh. Those who abandon Unix principles deserve whatever they get.
- SimHacker 16y agoEfficiency. You can keep your Unix principled autoconf scripts, thank you.
