HTTP/2 Protocol Implementation for the Crystal Language

HTTP

A pure Crystal (but incomplete) implementation of the HTTP/2 protocol.

Requires OpenSSL 1.1 or above to support ALPN protocol negotiation, which is required for HTTP/2 over secure connections.

TODO

• HPACK (including DH compression)

• HTTP/2 connection, streams, frames, ...

• HTTP/2 flow control (in/out, whole-connection, per-stream)

• HTTP/2 priority

• support HTTP/2 server connections

• integrate transparently into HTTP::Server (broken)

• integrate into HTTP::Server::Context (http version, server-push)

• support HTTP/2 client connections

• integrate into HTTP::Client

• HPACK tests (HTTP/2 protocol, ...)

• HTTP/2 server unit tests (HTTP/2 protocol, ...)

• HTTP/2 client unit tests (HTTP/2 protocol, ...)

• h2spec

Tests

Build and run the bin/server server, then launch h2spec.

$ make bin/server

Test against HTTP:

$ bin/server
$ ./h2spec -p 9292 -S

Test against HTTPS:

$ TLS=true bin/server
$ ./h2spec -p 9292 -k -t -S
