“SPDY (pronounced “SPeeDY”) is a new networking protocol whose
goal is to speed up the web. It is Google’s alternative to the HTTP
protocol and a candidate for HTTP/2.0. SPDY augments HTTP with
several speed-related features such as stream multiplexing and
header compression. To use SPDY, you need a web server and a
browser (like Google Chrome and upcoming versions of Firefox) that
both support SPDY. mod_spdy is an open-source Apache module that
adds support for the SPDY protocol to the Apache HTTPD server. This
tutorial explains how to use mod_spdy with Apache2 on Debian
Squeeze.”
