Hello Gregory,
first of all: thanks for summing up your previous encounter with SPDY.

The biggest hurdle re: implementing SPDY is the TLS bits.
I totally agree. From what I've read about the other experimental implementations of SPDY servers I've got the impression that implementing the TLS extensions (except next protocol negotiation) are at least not required at the moment. Of course it would be nice to benefit from the reduced TLS handshakes but it's not needed to start with. My idea was that this can be implemented afterwards once the specs for the extensions are final. Hopefully with some help from someone who's more into crypto code ;) Once we've got the basic framing layer running we could start working on the web application layer to see which changes are needed to support stuff like server pushes via SPDY. I haven't looked at the SPDY implementation of the upcoming firefox version yet so I don't know if my assumptions about the TLS bits are true but I will do so in the next days. Thanks again for your thoughts on this. Best regards, Robin
