27. HTTP 2.0

The next generation of the principal system of digital rules (or protocols) that define the way communications work over the World Wide Web, HTTP 2.0, will include multiplexing.

The latest working copy of HTTP 2.0 is out, released by members of the Internet Engineering Task Force.

Unlike previous versions of the HTTP protocol, this version will be a binary format(currently it is human readable), which was put in mainly to reduce the huge delay in web surfing.
