Support HTTP/2 #184

Open digitalextremist opened 9 years ago

We need to assess what we are not currently providing to make Reel::Server HTTP/2 compatible, then start to implement the missing pieces of what's needed to be able to accept HTTP/2 requests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2#Differences_from_HTTP_1.1

We don't seem that far off from compliance, especially with the core theory involved in pipelining in place.

It seems like the majority of this will invoke server push mechanics, which may be a tad more involved than Reel itself can handle by its limited scope. It doesn't know much about the context it is serving in.

This might become a separate reel-http2 gem, with a configuration object API to describe for the server what resources it can push to the client. That is, if HTTP/2 is largely about server context awareness.

Encryption out-of-the box also seems like a core requirement of HTTP/2.
