hi Ruben @RubenVerborgh , will this lib support http2 in the future?

Sponsor this feature

Since HTTP/2 support is a rather large feature request, the maintainer of this repository has set up funding for it.

will this lib support http2 in the future

It should.

Whether it will, I guess will likely depend on funding. The HTTP/2 API (https://nodejs.org/api/http2.html) is much more extensive than HTTP 1, and requires a significant implementation effort, for which I don't have the time myself.

If we manage to attract funding, then I am happy to hire and guide a developer to work on this.

Thanks! Looking forward this feature.

However, there's the compatibility API: https://nodejs.org/api/http2.html#http2_compatibility_api so supporting a subset is possible

Do we know when it will support HTTP/2? I'm using Axios.

[RubenVerborgh]

I haven't got the bandwidth to take this on myself.

However, if we can find 4.000–5.000 euros in funding, I can hire and supervise an engineer working on this. Open to any kind of crowdfunding options.

@pavankmr853 Several months of full-time work? I just don't have the time. Sponsorship would allow me to hire someone for that purpose.
