Google has released a mod_spdy module for Apache
By promoting the company's SPDY protocol, Google yesterday released a module for Apache 2.2, which allows the web server to start working with this protocol and which is a significantly modified version of the early beta, released in December 2011.
Describing the benefits that the new module provides in terms of speeding up work, Google engineers argue that in some cases the new protocol will work 50% faster than regular HTTP, while not imposing any requirements on server hardware, processor utilization and RAM. This is due to the use of several acceleration techniques, such as compressing HTTP headers, multiplexing a request for several resources over a single TCP connection, data prioritization mechanisms, and some others. True, SPDY will work only with browsers that already support this protocol - this is, according to reports from some analytical agencies, the second most popular Chrome browser and the regular Android browser (Firefox 11 also expects SPDY to be implemented). In addition, the developers recognize that they have not invented anything revolutionary, but simply combined already existing technologies in one package and presented it to the public.
It is worth recalling that Microsoft is promoting its own similar HTTP Speed + Mobility solution.
