Does anyone know why google doesn't offer a webserver?
I want SPDY, QUIC, and whatever cypher ordering magic is required to make my service faster on android. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to deploy this for at least a year because I have to wait on nginx and openSSL. By the time I could reasonably deploy this, shipping android phones will have the hardware to make this irrelevant.
Maybe google sees their in house webserver as a competitive advantage. Maybe their own internal infrastructure is too complicated to pull out a simple useful webserver.
- wmf 13y agoI guess that's kind of the point of App Engine.
- riffraff 13y agothey do offer the pagespeed proxy.
- puzzlingcaptcha 13y agoAlso pagespeed nginx module.
- self 13y agonginx has ngx_http_spdy_module and Google gives away mod_spdy for Apache 2.2. QUIC's server is in Chromium's code base; they haven't broken it out into a separate project (the protocol is still not stable). I've used mod_spdy on Ubuntu 12.04 for several months now, and it seems to work pretty well.
