             Summary: TS API to identify if the client connection is via SPDY
                 Key: TS-2987
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2987
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Plugins
            Reporter: Sudheer Vinukonda


Need a TS API for the plugins to be able to identify whether the incoming client connection is via SPDY. The plugins would like to relay this information over to the origins which may return a different kind of response for a spdy client vs a non-spdy client. For example, the origins may skip the optimizations such as domain-sharding which work well with non-spdy clients, but, would cancel the benefits of spdy to multiplex requests. 

The proposed API (the sole credit goes to [~amc]) checks the plugin_tag to identify if the connection is spdy. In the future, the HttpSM data structure may be enhanced to store a spdy indicator.
