MANILA, Philippines – It’s been 16 years since the last update to the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), and it seems we’re coming close to an upgrade to HTTP with the completion of HTTP/2.
Announced by Mark Nottingham of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) HTTP Working Group on a February 18 blog post, HTTP/2 is set to go through some editorial processes before getting published as the latest web standard to follow.
According to an IETF blog post, HTTP/2 will provide benefits to all users of the Web without requiring any changes from users.
The blog post explained, “The resulting protocol is designed to allow a seamless switch between HTTP/1 and HTTP/2, with minimal changes to applications and APIs, while at the same time offering improved performance and better use of network resources.”
It added, “Web users largely will be able to benefit from the improvements offered by HTTP/2 without having to do anything different.” – Rappler.com
