To accelerate the transfers between clients and servers even further we want to at some point look into supporting SPDY.

SPDY was developed by Google with HTTPS and compression in mind. Also it allows streaming of all the data on a single channel instead of a multi-connection scheme most often seen these days. There is an Apache2 module for this features. We'd have to make sure that it is compatible with Snap! C++.
