Hope I found the right discussion for people who develop SPDY (http:// sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/spdy/spdy-whitepaper).
Have the SPDY designers thought about how to efficiently handle "frequent transmission of similar dynamic content?" In particular, one approach is for the server to assume the client has an older version of the content of some resource, and just send some binary signatures which would allow the client to calculate the "diff" in the content. The client then only needs to request the blocks of data which have changed. More-complete details (as this idea is not my own): http://rproxy.samba.org/doc/protocol/protocol.html I was looking at the SPDY whitepaper. Something like this could be integrated with the "server hint" feature (see Advanced Features section in whitepaper). So, what do you think? -- Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss
