Workshop: Hands-on HTTP/2, a Fresh Start to The Web
Location:
- Golden Gate
When:
- Friday
Prerequisites
HTTP/2 (or "H2" as the cool kids call it) has been ratified for months and browsers already support it. Do the exciting features that HTTP/2 offer meet expectations? How does HTTP/2 fare in the real world? How is browser behavior changing to accommodate new server-side functionality? How can you get the most of the new protocol everybody’s talking about?
We’ll start with an introduction of HTTP/2 and how it differs from the current web standard. Once we understand the motivations behind H2, we’ll introduce H2O, a fast and hackable HTTP/2 library co-maintained by the instructor, and learn how to use browser and command-line tooling for making and profiling H2 requests. This knowledge will enable us to build a simple yet high-throughput HTTP/2 server and client.”
The takeaways from this workshop include:
- Understanding the limitations of HTTP/1.1, namely the single-connection model and its network limitations
- Surveying the HTTP/2 tooling ecosystem for observing and debugging low-level system behavior
- Implementing your own implementation of an H2 client and server using production-caliber frameworks
