Don't be afraid to not add features. I'd love to see something like this stay as a very high speed server, especially with the move towards single-page static apps that connect to restful services.

There's plenty of kitchen sinks out there.

Thank you very much for the answer!

To clarify for my mind:

Can I than use H2O to connect to a web-browser via HTTPS and H2O is routing the same request upstream via HTTP to a web application server? (that of course would suffice for me).

Yes, assuming that you wanted to say: "web-browser connect to H2O via HTTPS".

Of course! Excuse my bad English!

Is spdy supported?

spdy == http 2

Is it really the same (really asking)?? Sometimes there are subtle protocol changes, when something is standardized -- and as much I understand, HTTP/2 took a while ...

the initial http 2.0 draft was just a copy of spdy (in nov 2012). There have been changes to 2.0, so they aren't exactly the same.. but http 2.0 is meant to completely replace spdy.

Any of the servers/clients that support spdy currently will eventually make the minor changes, and call it http 2.0.
