[web-devel] http2

[Gregory Collins]

This is a nice start. I considered implementing SPDY myself soon after the
spec was first published but the TLS stuff seemed too daunting. At the time
I think Chrome was using a bunch of in-tree OpenSSL patches to support
next-protocol-negotiation / TLS snap start / etc. It looks like the HTTP 2
draft has gotten rid of those requirements but the TLS server name
indication extension must be supported. HsOpenSSL doesn't have bindings for
the needed functions (SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback() /
SSL_get_servername()) and the tls library (which I am personally reluctant
to use for "crypto is hard to do right and you really want to use
widely-audited code" reasons) doesn't seem to have an implementation yet
either. OpenSSL support seems to be the easier nut to crack there.
