[Question] Is it possible to use CocoaSPDY without SSL? #32

I'm wondering if it's possible to use CocoaSPDY without SSL to reduce impact to our backend.

Line app integrates SPDY in plain mode according to their blog: http://tech.naver.jp/blog/?p=2381

We allow for non-encrypted connections. SPDY is usually used with TLS, but this slows down connection times and transfers–especially over mobile connections. Thus we decided to allow for non-encrypted connections over a mobile network.

We'd like to apply the same approach in our apps by integrating CocoaSPDY.

Sure--by default, simply register an http (i.e. not https) origin and all requests made to it will be sent in the clear.
