Friday 19 February 2016 - HTTP/2

As part of some general software housekeeping, I've upgraded the version of nginx that looks after the main site & control panel to 1.9.10, this version supports the new HTTP/2 protocol. Note that this is different from the other efforts to do the same thing e.g SPDY and is expected to replace those in time.

I thought this announcement would be a lot more interesting than it actually is, however there's nothing to report other than that it "just works".

There are browser plugins that will tell you which of the various next-generation protocols are in use.
