Future of this module with respect to HTTP/2? #191

Closed goloroden closed 9 years ago

First of all: I highly appreciate this module and use it in several projects :-)

So, please don't get this question wrong: It's not meant to be harshly or impolite, it just came to my mind this evening.

Today, the Chromium project has announced to drop support for SPDY in early 2016, as HTTP/2 will then be mature enough.

So, I wondered, what does this mean for this module? Will it evolve into an HTTP/2 module over time? Will it get additional support? Will it stay a pure SPDY module? Does it work already for HTTP/2 as well? …?

As said before: Please don't get this question wrong, I really value your work on this module, and I definitely don't want to bash it.

This really depends on https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/589 and https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/4 . First one is required because of ALPN that is used for advertising HTTP2 support. The second one will tell where this module would live.

I think it'll be either support here, on in core.

Thanks for the very fast reply, and for clarifying things :-)
