Last month I held a number of presentations on the latest and greatest HTTP/2 protocol. It's an area where there's currently a lot of demand for knowledge and practical tips. Most people are surprised to find out that the're actually already using it on a daily base.

If you're interested you could check out an Ansible role which installs a number of client-side and server-side tools all HTTP/2 enabled:

  • curl - A data transferring tool with HTTP/2 support
  • h2load - A benchmarking tool for HTTP/2 and SPDY servers
  • nghttp - A HTTP/2 client with SPDY support
  • nghttpd - A HTTP/2 server with SPDY support
  • nghttpx - A transparent HTTP/2 proxy with SPDY support
  • openssl - A cryptographic library with ALPN support (1.0.2-chacha)

The following libraries will be installed:

  • libcrypto - OpenSSL
  • libcurl - CURL library
  • libnghttp2 - A HTTP/2 and HPACK C library
  • libspdylay - A SPDY library
  • libssl - OpenSSL

You can find the role at https://github.com/PeterMosmans/ansible-role-http2
