suggestion: SPDY protocol support (mod-spdy)

[aww]

It would be amazing if Litespeed had dual support for Google's SPDY protocol in addition to HTTP

Apparently Chrome can use it now and it's up to 64% faster than HTTP.

mod-spdy is open source, so the code could be studied

More details here too:

More SPDY news, they are working on it for Firefox:

Litespeed should definitely consider implementing it for a future release, would give you an edge over other webserver software.

Firefox 11 will have SPDY by it's mid-March release:

So the two most popular browsers will have it, as well as options for nginx and apache.

Is SPDY support on LiteSpeed's radar?
