SPDY Support in Play 2.0

[DrKarl]

Hi,

I'm excited to see that Play 2.0 is on Release Candidate 1 !!

I just wondered if it would feature SPDY protocol support (a new
protocol developed by Google which increases paralelism and optimizes
connections). I think Play uses Netty under the hood, and I read that
netty now supports SPDY...

Thank you!!

Hi,

I'm also interested to see SPDY protocol coming to Play as well. It seems Go, nodejs, tomcat, etc all support it now as well and many browsers seem to be implementing the client side.

Thanks!

Netty now supports spdy thanks to twitters contribution.

It might pave the way to have it in play. 

I am just sure that the focus is now on getting play2 ready for prime time with all the docs. And I think that a patch will be welcomed by the team :)

I've submitted a pull request to upgrade to Netty 3.3.1, which adds SPDY support

Play uses Netty 3.5.0 now :-)

[James Ong]

Do share your network performance for SPDY and non-SPDY as well!

[Mark Waddle]

Hi Ben,

So I understand that Netty 3.5.0 supports SPDY and that Play is using 3.5.0+. Does this mean that we are getting SPDY for free? Or does it require some additional configuration?

Thanks,

Mark

Unfortunately not, to use SPDY you need to add it to the pipeline in Netty, Play currently adds the HTTP encoder/decoders.  It might be feasible to add something that detects SPDY or HTTP, and use the correct one according to the request.
