Reading a little about HTTP 2.0 and SPDY, which seems destined to be a part
of HTTP 2.0
[ http://www.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-whitepaper ]
I'm not sure I want to implement this. We haven't even implemented all of
the features of HTTP 1.1 in their entirety.
It would seem that a more sensible implementation might be to do the following:
1. Regardless of operating mode, *always* use the "/webcit" (or perhaps "/wc")
prefix for every transaction
(exceptions would be things like "/dav" of course)
2. Increase the number of protocol modes to three: HTTP, HTTPS, and FastCGI.
This would give administrators a choice of running WebCit as a standalone
web server (using HTTP 1.1 forever), or plugging it into any FastCGI-enabled
web server.
I know already that dothebart will be super happy about this idea. :)
what do y'all think?
