HTTP/2, the first major change to HTTP in 16 years, has been finalized

I wonder if there is a Secure Socket Layer version for it.

 

Looks cool to me, I hope it will speed up the web, but I also hope that idiot web-developers don't think this is an excuse to make websites even more bloated.

 

As long as it's not a flash website LOL.

 

I don't get it, was that a reaction to my comment?

 

Somewhat, but more a jab against proprietary junk in general.

 

No Secure Socket Layer is dying, but there is Transport Layer Security

Ok this was the idea anyway.

 

HTTP/2 finished, coming to browsers within weeks.

TLS doesn't rely on protocol in application layer, tho originally meant to be used with http. So changes in http don't require changes in TLS.
BTW, TLS 1.3 is now in draft.
