- LeafStorm 15y agoYeah, but you don't need SPDY as much on the application servers as you do the frontline servers (Apache, nginx, lighttpd...) where its benefits are more pronounced.
- dhotson 15y agoExcellent point. A SPDY->HTTP proxy or SPDY support in tools like perlbal, squid and Varnish would go a long way.
- wycats 15y agoApache already has a mod-spdy (https://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/ https://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/), and varnish is in wait-and-see mode (https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/pipermail/varnish-misc/2011-April/006084.html https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/pipermail/varnish-misc/2... "SPDY isn't even an official IETF draft yet") I agree. Getting SPDY into Apache, ngnix, varnish, squid etc. would be all we need to get the benefits of this new protocol. The front-end SPDY server could then communicate via HTTP via a low-latency connection.
