This is a library application designed to make it easy to add SPDY support to other erlang apps, specifically webservers like cowboy, misultin and mochiweb.

This app does contain a basic demo server which just returns a "Hello World" response to a GET / request received over SPDY. You should really use an existing server, or at least a more robust tcp listener/acceptor method.

To run the demo server:

$ rebar compile                            # compile everything
$ erl -pa ebin/ -boot start_sasl -s espdy  # espdy app doesn't run anything
erl> espdy_demo_server:start(6121, false). # start server, non-ssl

The demo serves up a nice hardcoded page, and can handle a SPDY v2 session properly to chrome.

No flow control, although that got pushed into SPDY/3 anyway

Probably some other stuff to mention here.

Run Chrome with these flags:

--use-spdy=no-ssl --new-window --user-data-dir=/tmp/foo

This will open a new chrome window:

• with a new chrome profile, ignoring your existing settings
• in SPDY-only mode - sites using normal HTTP will not load
• force SPDY to not use SSL, for simpler testing

Now go to http://localhost:6121/ in the new Chrome window.

You can view stats on Chrome's SPDY status at chrome://net-internals/#spdy However, it crashes with --use-spdy=no-ssl unless you have a very recent version. I'm testing with stunnel and https, and it works fine when Chrome is started with --use-spdy=ssl

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --use-spdy=no-ssl --new-window --user-data-dir=/tmp/foo http://localhost:6121/ 

chromium-browser --use-spdy=no-ssl --new-window --user-data-dir=/tmp/foo  http://localhost:6121/ 

This library is useful once you have accepted a socket that will be used for the SPDY protocol. Once accepted, you start a espdy_session process, providing a callback module. (See the demo server).

espdy_session will spawn a espdy_stream process for each new stream.

espdy_stream uses the callback module to respond to SPDY requests.

Two zlib contexts are maintained for each session. For inflating and deflating.

espdy_parser takes care of all the binary-to-record work and visa-versa, and requires a compression context to use.

Chrome supports SPDY v2 spec currently:

SPDY v3 is being specced, but is not in the wild yet afaik.
