enabling SPDY

2013-01-15 Thread KT Walrus 
I'd like to enable SPDY protocol using nginx.  For this to work, do the 
frontend haproxy load balancers need to operate in tcp mode only?  Or, can they 
use http mode to pass the SPDY requests to nginx?

Theoretically you are able to offload SSL at haproxy, and pass raw, unencrypted 
SPDY to the backend.

I doubt however that this has been done before, and nginx most certainly 
doesn't accept unencrypted SPDY traffic, so yes, tcp mode will be the only 
option for now.
