HTTP2 in practice
summary
A live demo splits an image and shows HTTP/2 multiplexing makes page load about 7.2× faster than HTTP/1 under added latency, attributing the gain to parallel streams rather than magic. Practical details cover server implementations (Apache httpd, nginx, Node.js, Tomcat), browser requirements (HTTP/2 requires TLS in browsers; h2c isn’t supported), Node’s http2 API is experimental since v8.4, Java 9 adds ALPN while Java 8 needs OpenSSL or third‑party libs for h2, and HTTP/2 server push works but is often disabled by proxies or misconfigured backends.
