Feature-request: use http/2 for map download and browsing
Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2020 3:53 pm
Hi,
Alpinequest is using http/1.1 for downloading tile images from map servers. Either on browsing of downloading an area.
http/2 is supported by more and more map servers and it really allows much faster tile downloading specially on slow connections.
You can see a demo on this page https://http2.akamai.com/demo using any modern browser.
So please using http/2 by default whenever enabled.
