Does anyone know if Cloudflare has plans to implement HTTP/2? RIght now they support SPDY.

I found the answer from their blog:

"Part of the service CloudFlare provides is being on top of the latest advances in Internet and web technologies. We've stayed on top of SPDY and will continue to roll out updates as the protocol evolves (and we'll support HTTP/2 just as soon as it is practical)."

We've been talking about it. I think it's just a question of when.
Since CloudFlare is an OpenResty (nginx + lua) shop, they'll likely get it as soon as it's in nginx.
OpenResty does not include SPDY as there are incompatibilities with it and Lua. But I'm sure CloudFlare has the engineering resources in house to decide what they want to support and when :)
Do you know if they support SPDY downstream too ?
