H2O version 0.9.1 released with support for HTTP2 dependency-based prioritization

Today I am pleased to announce the release of H2O version 0.9.1. The release tar-ball can be found in the releases section of the GitHub repository.

H2O is an optimized HTTP server with support for HTTP/1.x and the upcoming HTTP/2 protocol.

Version 0.9.1 contains many improvements that have gone into the source tree since the initial release, including contributions by people other than the original developers. I am very happy and thankful to those who have started sending pull-requests to H2O.

The full list of the changes can be found in the changelog. But on this blogpost I would like to concentrate on the issues regarding HTTP/2.

■Support for draft-16

H2O version 0.9.1 supports both draft-14 and draft-16. Draft-16 is the latest draft of HTTP/2, now at the final stage of becoming an RFC standard. Draft-14 is still supported for interoperability with older user-agents.

■Dependency-based prioritization

Dependency-based prioritization is one of the key functions of HTTP/2. It allows the web browsers to control the order in which the server sends the responses (e.g. send CSS files before HTML). Firefox/37 is going to start using the prioritization method, and we are happy to be able to support it. For more information about dependency-based prioritization and how it would be used, I would suggest reading Bits Up!: HTTP/2 Dependency Priorities in Firefox 37.

As Mozilla has enabled HTTP/2 by default in Firefox/35, it is now possible to take the benefit of using HTTP/2 to serve contents to the users faster than ever. I hope that H2O could be of some help in doing so.

  4. Looking for coursework help in the UK is very common today. The country has set the standards of education extremely high. The college and university authorities revise the curriculum every year as per the demands of the job sectors and add new subjects. Therefore, students find it tough to cope with the extreme study pressure and a shortage of time to complete the papers.Speak to the customer care executives and check if they assign coursework writers from the UK. This is especially applicable for papers on the law because only a person from the UK who have specialized in law can do the papers properly.
