Finally! I have really been looking forward to the SPDY support in stable.

It's a very cool thing. One thing you might not have been aware, due to the unusual naming- The 1.3 series is/was perfectly stable for production use.

The name referred to API/module stability, more than production-worthy-ness.

GL with your deploy!

Me too, I just updated on Arch but activating SPDY isn't working so far:

  nginx[20116]: nginx: [emerg] the "spdy" parameter requires ngx_http_spdy_module in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:26

Seems the Arch package was built without SPDY support?

Add --with-http_spdy_module to the configure flags in your PKGBUILD. But expect problems with parallel XHR file uploads in all major browsers.

Thanks but I'm not going to build it myself, I think it's better for me if I leave that up to the package maintainers ^^

The Arch package maintainers' job mostly boils down to managing the PKGBUILD. If you get comfortable using ABS your experience with Arch will improve dramatically.

Seems the package has been updated again with SPDY support this time (1.4.0-2)
