nghttp2 - HTTP/2.0 C Library
============================
This is an experimental implementation of Hypertext Transfer Protocol
version 2.0.
Development Status
------------------
We started to implement HTTP-defat-04/2.0
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-04) based on
spdylay code base.
The following features are not implemented:
* Header continuation
* PUSH_PROMISE and server-push in general
* ALPN: ``nghttp`` client and ``nghttpd`` server use OpenSSL without ALPN
support and still use NPN to negotiate ``HTTP-draft-04/2.0``.
* HTTP Upgrade dance
With those missing parts, the library is not still inter-operable
right now.
The ``nghttp`` client and ``nghttpd`` server are working now assuming
the above limitation. Both programs start HTTP/2.0 with `prior
knowledge
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-04#section-3.4>`_
or TLS NPN negotiation. No HTTP upgrade dance is supported yet. You
can see the HTTP/2.0 frames back and forth and connection-level and
stream level flow controls.
Here is sample output from ``nghttp`` client::
