HTTP/2, which promises faster web browsing, is almost here

HTTP is set to get its biggest upgrade in more than 15 years, following the announcement that HTTP/2 has been officially finalised.

HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the protocol used by the World Wide Web that helps to define how information is formatted and tells web servers and browsers what actions to take when a user enters a URL in their web browser.

Don't get your hopes up for widespread adoption... IE10 and below don't support it - and IE users rarely apply patches.

@http/2 See you 2020, maybe.
