Hi all,

I'm experiencing a strange behaviour on my SPDY tests.

I use nginx as a reverse proxy of a node.Js application.

I enabled spdy module and proxy_cache (nginx.conf file bellow) and I actually see no difference in requests speed. Requests are well handed by SPDY protocol (one TCP connection and multiple streams catched with tcpdump), but they should be concurrent and they actually are sequentials like without SPDY support.

Here are two screenshots of the waterfalls to see the behaviour
1) With proxy_cache support and SPDY not enabled :

2) With proxy_cache support and SPDY enabled :
https://lut.im/DmJ2wqFp/43ZOyhTE

Here is the configuration file I use to test on my laptop :

More infos : nginx-1.8.0-4.fc22.x86_64

So my question is : can those two modules work together or am I missing something in the conf ?

Thank you
