HTTP/2 in action
summary
Builds an HTTP/2 server in Java using Vert.x, JDK, keystore and ALPN, with a Docker image and GitHub repo; demonstrates multiplexing, header compression and server push but finds Chrome delays pushed resources instead of using them immediately. Claims HTTP/2 cuts round trips on high‑latency networks and shows a 40% adoption figure for the web; the demo runs locally and serves push promises successfully, though real‑world browser behavior limits the expected gains.
