The new HTTP/2 standard is finally here. Approved earlier this year, HTTP/2 adds a new binary framing layer that will help make applications faster, simpler, and more robust.
In this excerpt, author Ilya Grigorik takes you through HTTP/2's design and technical goals, and explains how Google's SPDY played a critical role in the protocol's development. You'll also learn what's required for upgrading a multitude of servers and clients to HTTP/2.
This excerpt covers:
- HTTP/2's binary framing layer
- Streams, messages, and frames
- Request and response multiplexing
- Stream prioritization
- One connection per origin
- Flow control
- Server push
- Header compression
