No HTTP for Chrome?

Something that Google has been keeping quiet: If you use Google services in Chrome, you’re probably not getting your pages via HTTP. You’re getting your pages via SPDY (SPeeDY), a new protocol that Google has been cooking up. Reportedly, SPDY can transfer pages from the server to your browser up to twice as fast as HTTP.
