Re: [hybi] SPDY protocol from google frame



It's not only "look at", it's also occasionally "just type it in". HTTP/1.0 is one line minimum, HTTP/1.1 is two lines minimum.

Another aspect is teaching: It's so much easier to teach a text-based protocol than a binary protocol, because there is much less of a difference between what you show and what's actually going on.

Hm. Are you sure about the "100"?
