HTTP/2 Finished: The First HTTP Update in 16 Years

February 18, 2015 by Paul Spoerry 2 Comments



Second Coming: The First HTTP Update in 16 Years, HTTP/2, Is Finished
HTTP is one of the most fundamental standards on the Internet and now, after 16 years, it’s finally getting a facelift. Make way for HTTP/2.

You use HTTP all the time, even if you don't know it… every time you go to a website it's travelling over HTTP.

It will, as you'd hope, bring some hefty benefits to the web. It should make for faster page loads, ensure connections last longer and facilitate servers to push data to your cache, so your computer doesn't have to pull it at a later date. HTTP/2 will support multiplexing, so that multiple requests can be delivered on simultaneously. It supports existing APIs, allows for cache pushing which helps avoid a round trip between fetching HTML and linked stylesheets and CSS, and bring better overall security.

Along with the article below this post gives a great overview of what to expect from HTTP/2: https://www.mnot.net/blog/2014/01/30/http2_expectations

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

    So, how long to roll this out and expect everyone to support it? 1 decade? 2 decades? 😉

    All major browsers within the year. FireFox is saying they'll only do HTTP/2 if TLS comes along for the ride… a push for encryption! Of course there will be routers and proxies and all that jazz that will need to implement/catch up. Who knows how long that will take.
