Google has revealed a new protocol – SPDY – that has been part of a research project to speed up the HTTP protocol that makes up the Internet. The speed increase is amazing – and sorely needed.
There is already a development version of Google’s Chrome browser available that supports SPDY; the branch is code-named Flip.
This new protocol requires a modified web server; this will be forthcoming from Google in the future. This is an exciting development that bears watching.
