On http://dev.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-whitepaper google is talking about a plan to improve the HTTP protocol with SPDY (speedy). It should drastically reduce latency, remove redundant and irrelevant data transmission (like sending the same headers with every request), base on SSL and compression for every request and make web requests much faster and more efficient …

I think this is very interesting especially for the mobile world since web connections on my mobile still feel like back in the “modem” days which is mainly caused by latency times for all those small requests that happen in the HTTP protocol …
