So today it was a new technology that I just read about.
HTTP/2
HTTP/2 (originally named HTTP/2.0) is a major revision of the HTTP network protocol used by the World Wide Web. It was developed from the earlier experimental SPDY protocol, originally developed by Google. HTTP/2 was developed by the Hypertext Transfer Protocol working group (httpbis, where bis means "second") of the Internet Engineering Task Force.HTTP/2 is the first new version of HTTP since HTTP 1.1, which was standardized in RFC 2068 in 1997. The Working Group presented HTTP/2 to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard in December 2014, and IESG approved it to publish as Proposed Standard on February 17, 2015.The HTTP/2 specification was published as RFC 7540 in May 2015.
The standardization effort was supported by Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer 11, Safari, Amazon Silk, and Edge browsers.[9] Most major browsers added HTTP/2 support by the end of 2015.
The technology whaich was to be used is based upon this protocol. nghttp/2
nghttp2 is an implementation of HTTP/2 and its header compression algorithm HPACK in C.
The framing layer of HTTP/2 is implemented as a form of reusable C library. On top of that, we have implemented HTTP/2 client, server and proxy. We have also developed load test and benchmarking tool for HTTP/2 and SPDY.
We have participated in httpbis working group since HTTP/2 draft-04, which is the first implementation draft. Since then we have updated nghttp2 library constantly to latest specification and nghttp2 is now one of the most mature HTTP/2 implementations.
All C APIs are fully documented.
HTTP/2 utilizes header compression method called HPACK. We offer HPACK encoder and decoder are available as public API.
nghttp2 library itself is a bit low-level. The experimental high level C++ API is also available.
