Second Coming: The First HTTP Update in 16 Years, HTTP/2, Is Finished

HTTP is one of the most fundamental standards on the Internet and now, after 16 years, it's finally getting a facelift. Make way for HTTP/2.

The new standard was finally finished earlier today, according to a blog by Mark Nottingham, the chair of the IETF HTTP Working Group. It will now simply pass on through some editorial stages before being published as a new standard to be used in browsers and web services everywhere.

Interesting. Thanks.

Glad they got rid of the decimal point versioning system, it was less than obvious to me.

"HTTP/1.1 just got a major update"

The version after 1.1 is still 1.1.

I agree. Should be interesting to see how fast the new changes are implemented.
