    A new web protocol that promises to speed up internet browsing has been approved.

    The changeover to HTTP/2, when it happens, will be the first major update to the standard in 15 years.

    The Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) has accepted the protocol, one of its senior members wrote in a blogpost on Wednesday.

    The standard will now go on to be edited before being applied, Mark Nottingham added.

    Its developers believe the new standard will represent a big step forward because it will make pages load quicker and improve encryption.

    I am waiting for everything to be encrypted over the net. Sadly HTTP/2, in its present form, allows unencrypted sessions.
