Today I learned how to enable SPDY on my webserver. Starting from https://www.mare-system.de/guide-to-nginx-ssl-spdy-hsts/ it looks like this is a trivial change once ssl is correctly configured (something I managed to do a while ago).
However, I found that the nginx version in Wheezy is too old to support spdy. Some searching on the web finds dotdeb which has up-to-date versions. So
- Enable dotdeb as per instruction,
- upgrade the
nginx-full
package, - change the site configuration from
listen 443 ssl;
tolisten 443 ssl spdy;
, - finally reload the nginx configuration:
sudo service nginx reload
And it is all there: http://spdycheck.org/#blog.hdurer.net
