It is!

Considering it, but frankly, for a better ETA wouldn’t reject a  
corporate sponsor  
if there’s anybody here who’d be open to sponsoring an implementation  
similar to

How much capital would you need to do this? I’d contribute to a  
crowd-funding campaign for this and I can likely get work to match or  
beat what I put in.

I was quite serious about this offer. Is it some kind of faux pas  
throwing money at an open source project?

It isn’t. Let’s move if off the list, though, as it’s a topic which is  
separate from  
technical discussions 🙂

Just the heads up: It seems the latest Chrome beta (32.0.1700.14) has  
also removed support for spdy/2. Spdy is no longer enabled in Chrome on  
nginx-based sites, and all sites that do work run spdy/3 or later  
(according to chrome://net-internals/#spdy).

spdy/2 support has been removed from the Firefox code base (

[https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar](https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar) ) so there is some  
urgency in  
getting spdy/3(.1) support into nginx.

Actually, after some convincing [0], both Firefox [1] & Chrome [2]  
guys were nice enough to give us a bit more time and revert those  
changes, so SPDY/2 will stay around for one more release cycle (and be  
retired in late February).

Ist there any new spdy code available for testing?  
I can’t find any new code in the version control since spdy/2.

Since RHEL 6.5 / Centos 6.5 (currently building but openssl 1.0.1  
available  
in CR repro) this major distibutions are also capable to run spdy.
