Currently, Apache seems not to support HTTP/2, other servers I don't know. But when Apache will support HTTP/2, multiplexing will most likely work similar to how it worked with SPDY (the predecessor to HTTP/2). You just send an additional header containing the files you want the server to provide to the client. mod_spdy used the X-Associated-Content-Header (see https://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/wiki/OptimizingForSpdy) "More" multiplexing will mean multiple parallel execution paths within the engine but that kind of parallelism introduces a hell of concurrency problems nobody truly wants. > 2. About push: same as 1.a. and 1.b. Push can only work with long running PHP processes. I kind of agree a stable PHP daemon process mode/SAPI would be nice. That mode would be similar to a WebSockets mode which we should get in the future. But that has nothing to do with HTTP/2 from my perspective. Greets Dennis
