curl tool limitations
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The command line tool won't do any HTTP/2 multiplexing even though libcurl
|
||||
supports it, simply because the curl tool is not written to take advantage of
|
||||
the libcurl API that's necessary for this (the multi interface). We have an
|
||||
outstanding TODO item for this and **you** can help us make it happen.
|
||||
|
||||
The command line tool also doesn't support HTTP/2 server push for the same
|
||||
reason it doesn't do multiplexing: it needs to use the multi interface for
|
||||
that so that multiplexing is supported.
|
||||
|
||||
HTTP Alternative Services
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Alt-Svc is a suggested extension with a corresponding frame (ALTSVC) in HTTP/2
|
||||
that tells the client about an alternative "route" to the same content for the
|
||||
same origin server that you get the response from. A browser or long-living
|
||||
client can use that hint to create a new connection asynchronously. For
|
||||
libcurl, we may introduce a way to bring such clues to the applicaton and/or
|
||||
let a subsequent request use the alternate route
|
||||
automatically. [Spec](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-alt-svc-14)
