Update: here is a document explaining why HTTPS is faster than HTTP.

It boils down to a Google-developed additional session layer (SPDY) from which only HTTPS profits. Basically it is not HTTPS vs. HTTP but multiplexed sessions over a single TCP connection versus unmultiplexed sessions. It would be possible to do HTTP over SPDY too (it is just not done). HTTP2 is basically SPDY standardised and further developed.

In principle HTTP is slightly faster than HTTPS: there are caching facilities so that not every retransmission has to be originated by the client. HTTPS lacks that because relaying stations cannot read what they transmit.

How SPDY speeds up things is especially via the session multiplexing. This gains lots of time because of the delayed TCP-ack, which takes 500ms.

Libravatar::URL(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Libravatar::URL(3pm)

NAME
Libravatar::URL - Make URLs for Libravatars from an email address SYNOPSIS
use Libravatar::URL; my $url = libravatar_url( email => 'larry@example.org' ); DESCRIPTION
See <http://www.libravatar.org> for more information. Functions libravatar_url # By email my $url = libravatar_url( email => $email, %options ); # By OpenID my $url = libravatar_url( openid => $openid, %options ); Constructs a URL to fetch the Libravatar for the given $email address or $openid URL. %options are optional. "libravatar_url" will accept all the options of "gravatar_url" in Gravatar::URL except for "rating" and "border". The available options are... size Specifies the desired width and height of the avatar (they are square). Valid values are from 1 to 512 inclusive. Any size other than 80 may cause the original image to be downsampled using bicubic resampling before output. size => 40, # 40 x 40 image default The url to use if the user has no avatar. default => "http://www.example.org/nobody.jpg" Relative URLs will be relative to the base (ie. libravatar.org), not your web site. Libravatar defines special values that you may use as a default to produce dynamic default images. These are "identicon", "monsterid", "wavatar" and "retro". "404" will cause the URL to return an HTTP 404 "Not Found" error instead and "mm" will display the same "mystery man" image for everybody. See <http://www.libravatar.org/api> for more info. If omitted, Libravatar will serve up their default image, the orange butterfly. base This is the URL of the location of the Libravatar server you wish to grab avatars from. Defaults to <http://cdn.libravatar.org/avatar/> for HTTP and <https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/> for HTTPS. short_keys If true, use short key names when constructing the URL. "s" instead of "size", "d" instead of "default" and so on. short_keys defaults to true. https If true, serve avatars over HTTPS instead of HTTP. You should select this option if your site is served over HTTPS to avoid browser warnings about the presence of insecure content. https defaults to false. LICENSE
