Hi, interesting library. Is it compatible with HTTP2 & HTTP3?

This is meant for communication between your Nim application ("the upstream") and an Internet-facing server ("the reverse proxy") - both on same computer or LAN. In that last hop, many fancy things are not required, like HTTP/S, HTTP2, HTTP3, and serving (public) static files - so the answer is no.

If major open-source web servers start offering an upstream API for some new protocol and someone writes a Nim implementation for it, of course support should be considered.

One such protocol to keep an eye on is WebTransport as the next-generation replacement for WebSocket.
