Yes - we decided that we'd go the C++ route initially since we have some existing SPDY encode/decode code that's written in C++, so we can make progress on a prototype implementation quickly. Once we've got the implementation in a good state, we could work on porting it to C/Apache coding standards

A small group of us have been working on mod_spdy, an open source filter module that provides support for the SPDY protocol in Apache. SPDY is an experimental protocol described here http://dev.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-whitepaper. It's currently supported in the Chromium browser (Google Chrome) and
