Hi Guillermo,
FYI - there's a separate discussion group called spdy-dev at
http://groups.google.com/group/spdy-dev
A new HTTP verb is a good idea - but it has the great disadvantage
that proxy servers reject requests using this verb. As far as I know:
Squid will reject non-standard verbs. I think the reason why proxies
reject unknown verbs is that they do not know how to exactly handle
unknown verbs ("what must pass?" "what can be cached?" "what can be
modified?" etc).
Do you know Microsoft BITS? This is the background service for
download and (what many do not know) for upload, too. But they use non-
standard HTTP verbs for their protocol - and proxies reject these
requests. This is the reason why BITS upload is not commonly used.
Means: using a non-standard verb will break http/spdy connection
upgrade.
