SPDY server on node.js (github.com)

100 points by indutny 15y ago ↗ HN

With latest dev version of node.js you're able to use NPN extension of TLS. So SPDY server can be naturally run with usual HTTPS server.

That's basic protocol implementation that allows you to run SPDY server on node.js with fallback to HTTPS.

(Seeking for a collaborators!)

Looking really good indutny!

For anyone interested, Fedor is also one of the co-authors of node-http-proxy ( https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy ) and an all around nice guy.

Nice work. And there's other implementations too on the project web page: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/spdy. Seems all google sites are using SPDY for ssl now; that is evidently the lowest hanging fruit for speed gains.

You can see it in use in chrome by visiting chrome://net-internals/#spdy

No idea when it's going to be supported in any browser besides chrome, though ..
