Jetty + Spdy = Awesome!

This weekend I testwise activated Spdy for HTTPS connections.

So if you access the page you should see a Spdy connection and needed resources should be automatically being pushed to your browser.

If you want to know more about Spdy, HTTP 2.0 and how it can speed up the internet just have a look at the following resources:

Due to activation of Spdy I switched from Apache Tomcat to Eclipse Jetty as the hosting servlet container. So thanks to the guys from Jetty project - this is awesome!

I am using Jetty for years now as the main embedded HTTP container either with or without Servlet support but this is really the first time I was using it as a standalone servlet container - it just worked!
