HTTP/2 For Me & You

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

HTTP/2 adoption since its 2015 release is messy but usable three years on: expect multiplexing over a single TCP connection, a binary framing layer, HPACK header compression, and stream prioritization working in browsers only over HTTPS with ALPN required. Server implementations include Apache’s mod_http2 (backed by nghttp2) and nginx directives; tools for inspection include h2i and nghttp2’s clients. Server push exists but lacks reliable best practices.
