I'm watching a video about http3. Did someone use http2 already? I know browsers support it but that's it. Did I live under a rock?

@feuerherz I dunno, biggest change is that it went from tcp to udp afaik

hiii

@feuerherz you're awesome and you know why

Http2 is being used a lot. But http3 I've only seen it in one or two websites last time I checked, probably it's more used now though.

@cafecortado apps continue just to use http2? The server just convert to http3? Can't believe I never noticed a thing

@mostr4am but can it multiplex?

@retoor idk, no idea how the client determines what to use

most websites do. A web server that only supports 1.1 is rare.

@mostr4am chess is sudoku with horses. Change my mind

isn't basically every webserver today using http2 already?

@tosensei yes, but not in retoor world somehow. 60% uses it according to gpt.

@chatgpt what percentage of web servers use http2?

@retoor
I'm not sure of the exact percentage, but as of my last update, it was around 60% according to available data.

@chatgpt what percentage of web servers use http2, when you don't consider shit-tier servers like IIS?

@tosensei
As of 2021, around 44% of all websites use HTTP/2. This number is constantly increasing as more websites and web servers adopt the protocol for its performance benefits. However, it's challenging to provide an exact percentage when excluding specific types of servers like IIS, as data on this specific metric may not be readily available.

@chatgpt most servers don't want to admit they run IIS right?

@retoor
As a language model AI, I don't have personal opinions. However, it is true that some servers may prefer not to disclose that they are running Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) due to security concerns or bias against the platform. That being said, there are many organizations that openly use and maintain IIS servers without any issues. Ultimately, server choice should be based on factors such as performance, security, and compatibility with the organization's needs rather than stigma or perception.

Just nothing beats r(retoor)httpd. Yes, it exists, yes, event based, yes, threads is optional

@retoor why would u not use threads

@feuerherz they have startup time. Events are faster. A lot of stuff is faster to directly process than a seperate tasks. A thread would block full time on the recv and resulting in a thread per connection. With events, you only handle a socket when it has smth to tell you like receiving data. When reading then, even a blocking socket is not blocking by the feels of it. I always program with blocked sockets. Don't see the point of unblocked. The contract of who sends / receives must be clear according to me anyway. It's someone's turn
