Bump?

This is quickly becoming an issue with all big browsers now supporting the protocol. Also ties in to the question when JMeter will support HTTP 2.0 or what the roadmap to that will look like.

Sebb (migrated from Bugzilla):
JMeter does not aim to implement protocols, rather to implement the sampling framework needed to test protocols.

For example, the HTTP protocol implemented using libraries, as are EMAIL, JDBC and FTP.

I don't think it makes sense to spend any effort on implementing SPDY in JMeter.

If there is a library that implements SPDY and has a compatible license, then we could look at adding the necessary code to interface with it.

Some possible libraries for SPDY clients:

https://github.com/jpinner/netty

https://github.com/square/okhttp

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Feature/SPDY (also contains a client to allow proxying)

The first two are Apache Licensed, Jetty is dual licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and Eclipse Public License 1.0.

I can't recommend one, just did a quick search.
