Add SPDY Support about http-kit HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi, Thanks. I will try to look into SPDY. will keep you updated.

from http-kit.

How goes? We're investigating a move to http-kit, spdy support would definitely be welcome (not an immediate time frame for us though).

Hi,
How about using nginx as a proxy to solve the SPDY support problem? or any other reverse proxy than support SPDY?

from http-kit.

For Web apps, nginx would work, but a SPDY pipe all the way through to the
app server would be better.

And as more people start using SPDY for RPC, supporting SPDY on the app
server will become more important.

See Ilya Grigorik's (Google) talk on using SPDY for modern backend RPC...

Just my 2c: I would avoid implementing SPDY for at least the medium term and focus on the core HTTP functionality. Implementing SPDY would be a significant job, needing lots of time + testing to get it anywhere near production capable.

Using nginx as a proxy is simple, efficient, and a good idea anyway for security + reliability. I really wouldn't suggest trying to chase a relatively new spec when even nginx is still working out the kinks.

Production web servers are hard - even the basics. IMO the greatest value http-kit brings is its integration with Clojure and the great async API, so my suggestion would be to specialize and let other dedicated tools handle the stuff they do best (SSL, SPDY, etc.).

Cheers! :-)

Closing for now. Current recommendation would be to use http-kit behind a reverse proxy like nginx (a good idea for several reasons including security).
