CometD RemoteCall APIs

HTTP/2 Push with experimental Servlet API

As promised on my last post on HTTP/2, we have implemented and deployed the HTTP/2 Push functionality on this very website, webtide.com.

RFC7230 for HTTP 1.1, 1.3 or 2.0?

The httpbis working group of the IETF has release RFC7230 (HTTP/1.1) which obsoletes the long serving RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1), which itself obsoleted the ill fated RFC2068 (HTTP/1.1), which had attempted to replace RFC1945 (HTTP/1.0).   So with the 4th version of a HTTP/1.x specification, some might argue that we really should Read more…
