Comment on SPDY of the Future Might Blow Your Mind Todayparent

Comments

To the point:

- try checking what a webapp does. TRIVIAL. We're talking minutes.

- try checking what a binary app on your computer does. one with DRMs or advanced "anti crack" stuff for example. FREAKING HARD. Even if you're a wizard, it still takes a few hours. For mortals, we're talking weeks. Weeks!

And that my friend, is why what you wrote is wrong.

Definitely not the case with HTTPS, which looks like binary garbage over the wire but whose payload is quite transparent once decoded by SSL.

How are you "checking what a webapp does"?

You're using the browser or WireShark almost guaranteedly. You can continue to use the same methods with SPDY or compressed/proxied SPDY.
