- CWIZO 14y agoOK thanks. That cleared things up :) Too bad that this means that the first request (which is usually the most expensive one) is always done trough HTTP :/
- laktek 14y agoNot really. The HTTPS requests can choose SPDY using the Next-Protocol-Negotiation(NPN). Alternate protocol header would matter only to HTTP requests to know this server is capable of supporting SPDY. However, as per the latest post by Opera Labs[1], all 3 major browsers supporting SPDY doesn't handles this header correctly. Also, it's not mentioned in SPDY draft 3.
