What does the SPDY protocol do that the SSH2 protocol doesn't aside from being completely HTTP-specific?
This seems to me to be yet another unnecessary new protocol.
- ComputerGuru 15y agoUnless you're talking about some SSH2 completely different from Secure Shell Protocol v2, then I think you need to read up on SPDY... If you are, please correct me.
- wmf 15y agoBrowsers aren't going to implement both SSH and SSL, since that doubles security surface area. You could rip out the mux layer from SSH and run it over SSL, but that doesn't sound any easier than SPDY. And SPDY has special HTTP header compression.
