As a bonus, the "npn-boot" jar to extend the Java SSL implementation with the necessary next_protocol_negotiation extension support also allows access to the server_name extension. This should mean that you could implement server SNI support in Java, which allows SSL virtual hosting for supported clients.

Now added to the small list of SPDY enabled sites as I find them:

https://www.webtide.com/ https://twitter.com https://spdytest.com https://spdy-twitlog.indutny.com https://www.codecentric.de (and of course google.com, gmail and youtube.com)

Of course the number will explode in a few months but fun to know the handful in the "early days".

ps. SPDY indicator for Firefox 11+ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/spdy-indicato...

Why will it explode in a few months?

Because right now you have to intentionally "hack" your server to include it, once it's part of some standard components, it will be used automatically, or at least will be easy enough to add. I think nginx is working on including it in the default setup.

It will be enabled by default in Firefox 13.

And just in time they announced on Twitter "Early prototype of nginx/SPDY works in the lab" https://twitter.com/#!/nginxorg/status/182176707275534336

Sadly it looks like supporting SPDY for Firefox has to be special-cased (the indicator checks for X-Firefox-Spdy: in the headers). Because of this only a couple of the above servers support it.

Thanks for the replies. Last time I looked there was an experimental apache mod that looked dead, and not much else. Glad to see activity again.

See http://webtide.intalio.com/2012/03/jetty-spdy-is-joining-the... for a hyperbolic endorsement.

To sum it up, clients (SPDY enabled by default in FF13 and already in Chrome) and servers (Apache, nginx, Jetty, node, Google sites) are becoming available, some niches (mobile, high latency) are bound to benefit a lot and it's a good (better?) solution for the general case.
