This is a BETA RELEASE of our HTTP/2 client. As it is difficult for us to test our client against all possible situations. The beta release is meant for people to experiment and try our HTTP/2 client and report what does and does not work. This beta branch is synced with our main branch at least once per (beta) release.

Please help us test our HTTP/2 implementation. Open an issue and tag @marty1885 if you found any.

Comment on our compatibility tracker if you like. This allows us to gather a list of known working sites :)

BR, Martin Chang

Fixes

• Fix bad request when request path is empty
• Fix bad encoding/decoding when the server requests HPACK buffer size change

Changes

• Merge with latest master

Limitations

Please open an issue if you need any of them.

• No H2C (HTTP/2 over cleartext) support
• Technically supports handling server push. But no API to expose it to the user yet
• Does not support setting HTTP request dependency and priority
• Does not support trailers

Changed

• Add HTTP/2 Client

API changes

• New enum for HTTP/2 Version::kHttp2
• HttpRequest::setVersion() deprecated and has no affect.
• HTTP version in client is no longer controlled by req->setVersion() but with newHttpClient(...., DESIRED_HTTP_VERSION)
  • It is more of a suggestion then requirement. The client negotiates and selects the highest supported one.
