ShimmerCat is a web server designed from ground-up for HTTP/2 and written in Haskell. The purported purpose of the server is to take full advantage of HTTP/2 features, including HTTP/2 PUSH, to enhance the perceived page load speed of served websites. ShimmerCat uses machine learning to accelerate asset delivery to the browser.

Overview[]

As of September 2016, ShimmerCat is at version 1.5.0 and runs on Linux and OS X. The software can be used for development of web applications through its SOCKS5 and HTTP/2 implementations,[1][2][3][4][5] and it is also possible to develop web applications without having to modify /etc/hosts nor use different sets of URLs for development and production.
