Does anyone else have any experience setting up SPDY on a web server? Since SPDY is already supported by Chrome and Firefox, I'd be interested in at least experimenting with it if there is an Apache or Nginx based solution which is stable enough to work in production. Of course I would also need to serve old style HTTP for those that are using a browser which doesn't support SPDY but if there is a way to serve SPDY to those who can support it I'm all for trying it out.

There's mod_spdy for Apache 2.2 developed by Google employees:

http://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/

And a spdy patch for nginx from one of the main nginx developers:

http://nginx.org/patches/spdy/

Wordpress and CloudFlare both use the nginx patch so it should be production ready.

I use mod_spdy and haven't had any problems.
