It does seem like if they are already saying that an HTTP/3 is going to be needed then they might as well not bother releasing HTTP/2. Implementors are going to have minimal motivation to actually implement it, and will probably hang around waiting for the improved version that they know is coming.
- debacle 12y agoThose "Implementors" are the ones who will benefit from HTTP 2. Namely, I think Google could probably provide patches to nginx, apache, webkit, and firefox without even feeling it. Doing so would put MS on the hook to update IIS and IE. That's 90% of the Internet.
- youngtaff 12y agoMS are already updating IIS and IE - you can use HTTP/2 using the Azure platform preview today and the IE Windows 10 preview supports it too. Of the mainstream commercial HTTP servers I think MS are going to get there before nginx, and HTTP/2 may well render Apache irrelevant as there seems very little work on updating it happening.
