Hi,

Do You have any WIP for this, plans, ideas how to implement this? Or maybe a good point of start will be after 1.0 release when internal API and classes will be stabilized? Any info appreciated :)

[clue]

The main focus is currently on getting the v1.0.0 out. As such, there are currently no immediate plans to build this from our end (no demand at the moment), but I suppose we would be really happy to accept PRs 👍

@clue I would like to see HTTP/2 support after 1.0.0 is out. But we need certain features for that first.

[maciejmrozinski]

Ok, so i will get back to topic after 1.0 :)

how does this have to do with version 2? i thought version 2 is an nginx thing rather?

[clue]

@cordoval Yes, there are a number of use cases where you can use this project without requiring HTTP/2.0. For example, if you're using this project behind a reverse proxy (such as nginx) that is capable of speaking HTTP/2.0 to the client and forwards this as HTTP/1.x to this library, then you can probably live without native HTTP/2.0 support here.

However, we still want to look into implementing HTTP/2.0 here as well so that this can also be used without a reverse proxy 👍 In the meantime, there are plenty of HTTP/2.0 proxies that can be used as above 👍

@clue && @cordoval in fact most of my own sites are running react/http behind nginx that handles HTTP/2.0 and certificates for all the different sites hosted on that box.

nice man, good to know

hey have you news where is igorw? 👴 just curious

Are there any plans to support HTTP/3?

[clue]

@valzargaming I can definitely see us implementing HTTP/3 in the future, but baby steps first! In the meantime, using a reverse proxy to handle HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 is perfectly reasonable for many uses, but we definitely welcome contributions to help us land full support here as well 👍

It seems like this ticket is open for quite a while now. I want to avoid issues and pull request laying around for too long, but this depends on each topic. I think HTTP/2 support will come in the future, but I don't think there's something scheduled yet.

With that said we could close this ticket for now and reopen it once there are more detailed plans for HTTP/2 support, or we could leave it open, I will leave this decision to @clue as he opened this up 👍

IMHO we still want to do this but need to do some internal refactoring first. It is very much on my list of things to add.
