NickTheGreek 160 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 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.[1] HTTP/2[2] was developed by the Hypertext Transfer Protocol working group httpbis (where bis means "second") of the Internet Engineering Task Force.[3] 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,[4][5] and IESG approved it to publish as Proposed Standard on February 17, 2015.[6][7] The HTTP/2 specification was published as RFC 7540 in May 2015.[8] The standardization effort was supported by Chrome, Opera, Firefox,[9]Internet Explorer 11, Safari, Amazon Silk, and Edge browsers.[10] Most major browsers added HTTP/2 support by the end of 2015.[11] According to W3Techs, as of January 2017, 12.7% of the top 10 million websites supported HTTP/2.[12] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickTheGreek 160 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 Apache 2.4.12 supports HTTP/2 via the module mod_h2,[54] although appropriate patches must be applied to the source code of the server in order for it to support that module. As of Apache 2.4.17 all patches are included in the main Apache source tree, although the module itself was renamed mod_http2.[55] Old versions of SPDY were supported via the module mod_spdy,[56] however the development of the module has stopped Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
