" summary

Built a live audience voting app called onslide that uses WebSockets and SPDY as a probe toward HTTP/2, deployed at conferences and able to accept bursts of input (one attacker sent 500 votes in seconds). Server-side work uses nginx or HAProxy modules or Apache plugins to enable long-lived connections. SPDY/HTTP2 experiments force SSL so connections are encrypted. Also discusses WebRTC for peer‑to‑peer video and current limits from batteries, antennas and codecs.
