HTTP 2.0 & Java: Current Status", Part 1, jDays 2015 Speaker: "Simone Bordet
- 1. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2 & Java Current Status
- 2. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com Who Am I Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com - @simonebordet Lead Architect at Intalio/Webtide Jetty's HTTP/2, SPDY and HTTP client maintainer Open Source Contributor Jetty, CometD, MX4J, Foxtrot, LiveTribe, JBoss, Larex CometD project leader Web messaging framework JVM tuning expert
- 4. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Why http://w3c.org ~ 1996 1 HTML file, 600 bytes
- 5. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Why http://w3c.org ~ 2015 41 resources, 366 KiB ~ 1 HTML, 4 CSS, 2 JS, 34 images
- 6. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Why http://cnn.com ~ 2015 95 resources, 6.7 MiB ~ 3 HTML, 4 CSS, 30 JS, 58 imgs
- 7. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Why The Web EXPLODED ! HTTP 1.1 is an old protocol Extremely inefficient No multiplexing, no resource correlation Web developers hacking around limitations Domain sharding, resource inlining, image spriting, etc. Browser vendors want to make browsers FAST Break HTTP 1.1 recommendations
- 8. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Why Servers want to BE REALLY FAST
- 9. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Why Better HTTP means MORE MONEY
- 11. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: How HTTP/2: Binary protocol Based on the SPDY protocol (Google's experiment) Efficient to parse and generate Based on frames HEADERS HEADERS DATA DATA DATA
- 12. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: How HTTP/2: TLS everywhere Usage of TLS (SSL) is a MUST for browsers Very strict subset of strong ciphers Transparent proxy problem Caching proxies don't work anymore Big problem for certain countries Server-to-Server communication may be in clear Not every server supports clear-text HTTP/2
- 13. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Multiplexed No more domain sharding and spriting hacks needed HEADERS HEADERS HEADERS HEADERS HEADERS HEADERS DATA DATA
- 14. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: How HTTP/2: HTTP Headers compression Optimized usage of network Using Huffman coding ~600B → ~90B => 85% saved on headers HTTP/2: Request Prioritazion Resources may have a priority Clients may even re-prioritize HTTP/2: Push of correlated HTTP resources Less roundtrips to get all resources Huge benefits in page rendering
- 17. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: When HTTP/2 Specification under IESG editing It's basically a standard, unlikely to change further Browsers already implement HTTP/2 (TLS only) Firefox 34 Chrome 38 Internet Explorer 11 It's already there Twitter, Google, major websites Our own https://webtide.com
- 19. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Who cURL & Wireshark Unix tools support for HTTP/2 35+ Implementations https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/wiki/Implementations Java, C, C++, Go, NodeJS, Erlang, Haskell, etc.
- 21. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Java No changes required to your WARs Existing web applications work out-of-the-box Push functionalities provided by servers and frameworks Possible action: remove old HTTP/1.1 hacks
- 22. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Java HTTP/2 compliant servers require JDK 8 Due to the fact that HTTP/2 requires strong ciphers Server-to-Server clear text may run on JDK 7 Servlet 4.0 will support HTTP/2 Backwards compatible Few new API changes New HTTP Push API
- 23. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Java JEP 110 (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/110) HTTP/2 Client proposal for JDK 9 HTTP/2 Client API proposed: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~michaelm/httpclient/01/ In the Java World: Jetty (server + client) – Live @ https://webtide.com Netty Undertow OkHttp (Android)
- 24. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Java Jetty provides a pure HTTP/2 client Jetty's HttpClient provides a HTTP/2 transport Applications use HttpClient high-level API // Standard HTTP/1.1 client new HttpClient(); // HTTP/2 transport client new HttpClient(new HttpClientTransportOverHTTP2());
- 27. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Conclusions No changes for Web Developers Servlet API backward compatible Frameworks (JSF) will be able to leverage HTTP Push No more domain sharding / spriting hacks needed JDK 9 possibly updated to support HTTP 2.0 Some change for Deployers (devops / sysops) TLS everywhere Upgrade your Servlet Container Jetty 9.3 Upgrade network infrastructure (e.g. load balancers)
- 28. Simone Bordet sbordet@intalio.com HTTP/2: Conclusions HTTP/2 Makes You Money Upgrade To Jetty :)
