Description

I pass SPDY protocol status to my PHP-FPM with the following directive in my PHP location block:

fastcgi_param SPDY $spdy;

When connecting to the website with latest stable Firefox and dumping PHP's $_SERVER array, the following appears for $_SERVERSPDY variable:

SPDY=> string(0) ""

That is, the $spdy variable is an empty string.

Maybe the SPDY 3.1 draft implementation doesn't update the $spdy server variable?

Could you provide a debug log?

comment:2 by Tero Kilkanen, 10 years ago

I took a closer look at the issue, and it seems that the problem is somehow in PHP side. I took a tcpdump capture of the FastCGI traffic, and the header is correctly passed to PHP.

So, PHP must have some bug relating to the parsing of FastCGI request headers then. I will try some workarounds to see if I can get over it, and file a bug report in PHP instead.

Sorry for the hasty conclusion.

The error was not in PHP side either. I am using a browser that supports SPDY 3, not SPDY 3.1. It seems that nginx supports only SPDY 3.1, not SPDY 3, and therefore the actual connection doesn't use SPDY.

comment:5 by Valentin V. Bartenev, 10 years ago

Note that "latest stable Firefox" is 28, and it supports spdy/3.1.

comment:6 by Tero Kilkanen, 10 years ago

Yes, Firefox stable supports spdy/3.1, but the optimized Firefox build Pale Moon does not support 3.1 yet.
