Does anyone use http2?
http2 protocol with https allegedly provides performance gains in addition to security. Many platforms require substantial upgrades to make it work. Has anyone done it? Do you think the benefits are worthwhile?

Not much to implement it. It's available in Nginx.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. It is a done deal. It wasn't horrible to implement, but not exactly easy either. The variable is OS. On a Centos 6 machine a few upgrades must be made.
Nginx supports out of the box since XXX version. But it had to be compiled for C6, which ships with openssl 1.0.1e, therefore so was nginx. So it's compile a modern openssl version. Well...a few dependencies are missing. The guides I found didn't cover them. So a shotgun approach was in order. Finally got openssl compiled. Then it was compile nginx. A few hiccups later got that done. Configure http2 and off to the races.
Many publications fail to mention all that. Lol. Performance is killer too. Totally worth it.
