Hooman Beheshti examines HTTP/2’s core features and how they relate to real-world conditions, discussing the positives, negatives, new caveats, and practical considerations for deploying HTTP/2. Likewise, the new features the spec introduces may not work as seamlessly as we hope. Deploying HTTP/2 may not be as easy as it seems since the protocol brings with it new complications and issues. Everything we hear tells us that the new version of HTTP will provide significant performance benefits while requiring little to no change to our applications-all the problems with HTTP/1.x have seemingly been addressed we no longer need the “hacks” that enabled us to circumvent them and the Internet is about to be a happy place at last.īut maybe we should put the pom-poms down for a minute. Of course it is possible to see the content of a TCP packet in Wireshark, thats what this tool is for. HTTP/2 (or “H2” as the cool kids call it) has been ratified for months, and browsers already support or have committed to supporting the protocol.
