NAME

6       Protocol::HTTP2 - HTTP/2 protocol implementation (RFC 7540)
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Protocol::HTTP2;
10
11           # get protocol identification string for secure connections
12           print Protocol::HTTP2::ident_tls;           # h2
13
14           # get protocol identification string for non-secure connections
15           print Protocol::HTTP2::ident_plain;         # h2c
16

DESCRIPTION

18       Protocol::HTTP2 is HTTP/2 protocol implementation (RFC 7540
19       <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540>) with stateful decoders/encoders
20       of HTTP/2 frames. You may use this module to implement your own HTTP/2
21       client/server/intermediate on top of your favorite event loop over
22       plain or tls socket (see examples).

STATUS

25       Current status - beta. Structures, module names and methods seems like
26       stable.  I've started this project to understand internals of HTTP/2
27       and may be it will never become production, but at least it works.

MODULES

60   Protocol::HTTP2::Client
61       Client protocol decoder/encoder with constructor of requests
62
63   Protocol::HTTP2::Server
64       Server protocol decoder/encoder with constructor of responses/pushes
65
66   Protocol::HTTP2::Connection
67       Main low level module for protocol logic and state processing.
68       Connection object is a mixin of Protocol::HTTP2::Frame (frame
69       encoding/decoding), Protocol::HTTP2::Stream (stream operations) and
70       Protocol::HTTP2::Upgrade (HTTP/1.1 Upgrade support)
71
72   Protocol::HTTP2::HeaderCompression
73       Module implements HPACK - Header Compression for HTTP/2 (RFC 7541
74       <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7541>).
75
76   Protocol::HTTP2::Constants
77       Module contains all defined in HTTP/2 protocol constants and default
78       values
79
80   Protocol::HTTP2::Trace
81       Module for debugging. You can setup HTTP2_DEBUG environment variable to
82       change verbosity of the module (output to STDOUT). Default level is
83       error.
84
85           $ export HTTP2_DEBUG=debug
