HTTP/2 coming to browsers

Vita · February 2015

Hi,

I don't know if someone posted anything about HTTP/2 here on LET.

What are your opinions will this make an impact, and will you update? What do you generally think about this?

I think this is probably a long way off. The fact they are saying some routers/firewalls are not compatible means it will be a long time. Most ISP's still don't offer IP6 and that's been standarized for what...a decade now?

Google is already doing public A/B testing on Chrome and their servers for HTTP/2 draft, h2-14.

This isn't an ISP thing, rather a software/server thing. I would hope faster adoption.

Still waiting nginx to adopt to HTTP/2.

as someone hosting a website/app on a VPS, what would you have to do? Is this something you actually have to specify or build for? Or is it something that apache/nginx or what ever on your server will handle by them selves (when they update and support http/2)? Or is this going to actually change urls somehow like httpx://example.com.

Sorry, havent read much about it, though someone can enlighten me/us

One day you'll update your web server and perhaps notice that it performs a bit better by default. It'll be as much work as the transition from 1.0 to 1.1 was I think, just another yum update.
