DEPRECATED NGINX upstream now supports HTTP/2 server push

http2-push-nginx-module_ is an experimental and extremely unstable NGINX module that implements HTTP/2 server push.

The module can be used by either specifying what resources to push statically in the NGINX config file (see static example) or by leveraging OpenResty and Lua's FFI support (see openresty example).
