If the good old rumour mill of the internet is being accurate, then it might appear that the days of using HTTP as the main internet protocol may be numbered.

Google has apparently been researching a new protocol to replace it, which is called SPDY – short for SPeeDY, and claim to have attained page loading speeds of up to 55% faster than HTTP, using a web server and Chrome browser built with SPDY support.

The documentation for the protocol is available from here, so the protocol certainly does exists, but is it ready to challenge the old paradigm?
