Google SPDY - Has anyone used it on Apache?

Question

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Google SPDY on Apache? http://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/

I run a couple of web servers and am interested to know if there have been any issues with the mod_spdy Apache module and if anyone has seen a visible speed increase in SPDY supported browsers?

Answer 1

I just installed it a few hours ago and it seems to work for me. You can see my blog post on the experience here: http://ddevnet.net/blog/2012/04/23/apache-mod_spdy-spdy-protocol-apache/

The only "problem" I had was turned out to be an unnecessary redirect in one of my virtualhosts.

As for a "visible increase" I would say that it is not really perceptable to the end user for the majority of webpages. Pages with a lot of scripts, images and cookies may have a large difference. I could imagine that you would notice the difference on a long forum post.
